The President of the United States, Joe Biden, plans to announce this Friday the nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson as a candidate for the country’s Supreme Court.
If confirmed by the Senate, she would become the first black woman to serve on the nation’s highest court. Brown Jackson would enter the Supreme Court to replace Judge Stephen Breyer, who will retire in a few months.
The judge of 51 years of age is part of the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.
If she is indeed confirmed by the Senate, she will also become the second youngest justice on the Supreme Court and the first since Thurgood Marshall with extensive experience as a defense attorney.
Jackson was born in Washington, however, her development from a very young age took place in Miami, where her mother was a school administrator and her father a lawyer for the Miami-Dade school board.
Last January, President Biden had promised to nominate a black woman to the Supreme Court to fill the vacancy left by Breyer.
