The possibility of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson becoming the first Black woman to join the Supreme Court of the United States, is a moment that’s inspiring young Black women across the country.
Iman Davenport is a second-year law student and the president of the Black Law Students Association at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
When Davenport recently had the opportunity to be in Washington, D.C., she jumped at the chance to get a front row seat to history being made.
“She’s one of his country’s brightest legal minds. Yet, there are still people in this country that see her skin and assume that she’s not qualified. As a Black woman entering the legal profession, this confirmation is a literal dream come true,” said Davenport.
