A First For Supreme Court: Four Women, Two African Americans, And One Hispanic Justice!

With the confirmation of Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court, we have a first for the Court:

Four women—Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, Amy Coney Barrett, and Ketanji Brown Jackson.

Two African Americans—Clarence Thomas and Ketanji Brown Jackson

One Hispanic Justice—Sonia Sotomayor

Considering that the Supreme Court has had 108 white males out of a previous 115 appointments, this is a massive change, well needed and timely!
