President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris hosted Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson at the White House on Friday, one day after she was confirmed by the Senate to become the first Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court. Judge Jackson spoke at the event on the South Lawn. 

Justice-designate Ketanji Brown Jackson: “It has taken 232 years and 115 prior appointments for a Black woman to be selected to serve on the Supreme Court of the United States. But we’ve made it.”
