Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is President Joe Biden's nominee for the Supreme Court. Her nomination is historic: if confirmed, she’ll be the first Black woman to ever sit on the country’s highest court. Two Black Vermont women witnessed her Senate confirmation hearings firsthand.
Saudia LaMont, a transformative justice and racial justice advocate and consultant from Morrisville, and Angela Lawrence, a mother and New American who lives in Dummerston, spoke with Vermont Edition's Connor Cyrus about their experiences in Washington.
A final confirmation vote for Judge Jackson is expected next week.
Broadcast on Friday, April 1, 2022, at noon.
