University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School Presidential Professor Lisa Fairfax will have the honor and privilege of introducing her longtime friend and former roommate at the Senate confirmation hearings for the Supreme Court nomination of the Honorable Ketanji Brown Jackson. Brown Jackson currently serves on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit and if confirmed, would be the first Black woman to serve as a justice on the country’s highest court.

Once again, Charlie patiently waits while I swim. Then, it’s his turn. We walk at Medfield State. I go into the wide open meadow, a meadow I love. Have not walked here in months.

I immediately have goose bumps: a Black woman introducing another Black woman who has been nominated for the Supreme Court.
