was confirmed by the Senate as the 116th associate justice of the
U.S. Supreme Court. This historic confirmation of the first Black
woman to our nation's highest court is an essential step toward
a more inclusive America.

The SPLC applauds the confirmation of Justice Jackson. Her appointment
is a reflection of the strength of our diverse nation and a
recognition of the unique and often overlooked role African American
women have played in building and shaping this country.

"Justice Jackson is the first Black woman appointed to the U.S.
Supreme Court in its 230-year history and the fifth woman out of the
115 justices to serve on the high court," said SPLC President
and CEO Margaret Huang. "Justice Jackson's elevation to
our nation's highest court today is a cause for celebration and
an encouraging signal to future generations that aspire to the highest
offices in our nation."

confirmation of Justice Jackson here.
