ALBEMARLE-CHARLOTTESVILLE STATEMENT FROM BRANCH PRESIDENT JANETTE B. MARTIN

The Albemarle- Charlottesville NAACP joins in the historic celebration of the first Black woman judge, Ketangi Brown Jackson,  being confirmed to be a Justice on the highest court in the land! This is truly a moment that will forever don history books. Yesterday,  while Judge Jackson was being applauded, some chose to be on the wrong side of history, and failed to realize the importance of her confirmation to the Supreme Court.But, to join in with Senator Cory Booker of the state of New Jersey, even those who could not recognize the significance of her appointment, nothing should let those of us who can and do, see the importance of this event. We will not allow the joy of this historic event and what it means for the country be overlooked!
Judge Jackson, we appreciate you !
