SCOTUS's newest Justice, Ketanji Brown Jackson, was honored during a ceremony Monday marking the renaming of a street near where she was raised in Miami-Dade County, Florida.
“It was while I was studying and competing and growing up here in this community that I gained self-confidence in the face of challenges,” Jackson said during a 40-minute speech at the Dennis C. Moss Cultural Arts Center. “I learned how to lean in, in spite of obstacles, to work hard to be resilient, to strive for excellence, and to believe in myself and what I could do if given the opportunity.
The newly named Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson Street is located in a suburban neighborhood known to be populated with peacocks roaming through yards and roosting in oak trees. Although Jackson was born in Washington, D.C., her father, Johnny Brown, began working as a lawyer for the Miami-Dade County School Board in 1983. Her mother, Ellery Brown, was an educator.
Higgins also honored Jackson's parents, who were in attendance at the ceremony, saying they"taught the importance of education and hard work but also to love your country even when your country did not love you back."
