Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, who will become the first Black woman Supreme Court justice, celebrated her confirmation on Friday at a White House event alongside President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Why it matters: "It has taken 232 years and 115 prior appointments for a Black woman to be selected to serve on the Supreme Court of the United States. But we've made it. We made it, all of us," Jackson said on the South Lawn of the White House, receiving a standing ovation from the audience.
