The barrier-breaking confirmation of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to serve as the first Black woman Associate Justice on the highest court in the nation is a time of celebration for all but especially, Black women and girls everywhere.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\">\u201cWatching today\u2019s confirmation in the U.S. Senate, where Black people and other groups remain underrepresented, provided living proof of what is possible in America. Judge Jackson represents the absolute best of our American ideals, values, and promises. She is an eminently qualified jurist and will bring to the bench her incredible lived experiences as a former Supreme Court clerk and prosecutor as well as a Black woman whose family has been directly impacted by segregation and discrimination. Judge Jackson will bring to the Court her strong adherence to the rule of law and continued pursuit of equal justice for all. NFHA is pleased that Judge Jackson\u2019s confirmation received bipartisan support, which is proof of her brilliant legal mind, stellar experience, strong character, and the knowledge that she will be a fair and impartial Associate Justice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\">\u201cJudge Jackson stands as a living testament for every person who, for far too long, has not seen themselves represented in the fabric of our democracy. Judge Jackson\u2019s confirmation is a further step toward the equality, liberation, and representation that the founders of our country promised and that we deserve.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\">\u201cOn a personal note, as a Black woman with a long career in advancing civil rights and housing justice, I am moved beyond words when I think of the sacrifices my ancestors have made to help this nation live up to its ideals. The fact that Black girls and women can now look at the highest court in the land and see their image reflected is a moment that we all should applaud and be proud of as Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\">###<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content-wrap-item post__paragraph\"><strong><em>The National Fair Housing Alliance (NFHA)<\/em><\/strong><em> is the country\u2019s only national civil rights organization dedicated solely to eliminating all forms of housing and lending discrimination and ensuring equal opportunities for all people.
