Following today's vote to confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court of the United States, U.S. Congresswoman and Congressional Black Caucus Chair Joyce Beatty (OH-03) issued the following statement:
"Racism. Sexism. Blind arrogance. Shameless political grandstanding. In the face of it all, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson demonstrated grace and fortitude. Her judicial temperament and keen legal skills will make her a Justice that all of America will be proud of. As she makes history today, she stands on the shoulders of the Black female trailblazers who came before her. And today she will send a message to Black women and little girls, like my granddaughter Leah."
On March 24, the final day of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's Supreme Court confirmation hearings, Rep. Beatty (OH-03) delivered testimony on behalf of Judge Jackson to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
