In 2019, Joe Biden promised he would nominate a black woman to the Supreme Court of the United States. On Friday, President Biden fulfilled that promise, nominating the 51-year old Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court.she would be the first black woman to serve on the Supreme Court, but in many other ways, she also has much in common with the eight justices currently on the bench. Like three of the serving justices, she attended Harvard Law School; like five of the serving justices, she clerked for a Supreme Court judge; and like seven of the serving justices, she spent time in private practice working for a major law firm.
