“I really do believe that there is an important connection between my experience growing up in this area and my current position,” Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.

Justice Jackson was back home in Miami Dade County last Monday for a street renaming in her honor.

I hope that this street naming will also serve as a testament to what is possible in this great country, Justice Jackson said.

Not only is she the first Black woman in history to sit on the Supreme Court but she is also the first Supreme Court Justice from Miami Dade County.

“Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s historic seat on our nation’s highest court has set a groundbreaking example for countless young Black women and girls in our county and in our country, to keep reaching for their dreams, breaking those glass ceilings and proving that anything is truly possible in this great country,” said Mayor Daniella Levine-Cava.
