UpnUp applaud President Biden Historic Nomination Of The First Black Woman To The Supreme Court

The UpnUp issued the following statement on President Biden’s nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court of the United States:

“The UpnUp applauds President Biden’s nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court. This is a historic moment for our nation and our community in particular. President Biden has met this moment with an extraordinarily qualified nominee, who has stellar credentials and an impeccable background,” said Maurice Ash, UpnUp president, and CEO.

Since 1789, 115 justices have served on the Supreme Court of the United States, and not one has been a Black woman.

Representation of a Black woman on the highest court of the land is long overdue.
