NEW: The Senate has voted 53-47 to confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court — making her the first Black woman to ever serve on the nation's highest court.
. This is a huge moment for a community that has helped to build this country, kept it running and yet seen too little power throughout history.
But we also know that by promising to nominate a member of a historically underrepresented group, there are people who will assume that President Biden did not make his choice based on qualifications. It’s possible these same people would never believe that a Black woman could be qualified to serve, no matter how she was nominated or who nominated her.
This is a country that has been governed and led overwhelmingly by straight white men. It goes beyond the presidency and reaches into every facet of government. And it’s not because there have been no qualified women or candidates of color or LGBTQ+ candidates for these seats. It’s because the system was not built for us.
