and you had people like thurgood marshall, constance baker motley who was a hero to ketanji brown jacksonhe courts as a vehicle for expanding equality, expanding democracy. and so you have today ketanji brown jackson who will certainly become an inspiration and a role model to boys and girls and people all across this country of all different races and all different backgrounds. she ascends to the highest court in the land. she has talked about the importance of a court and a judiciary that looks like america. a court that looks like america, she has said, is a more credible court. people who are in the judiciary, in the justice system, can look at the judicial system and see themselves. in that way, it becomes a more elevated body, a more credible body. we'll see this moment happen today when the senate votes to confirm her. we've never seen this in this country's history. i will say, we sort of think about diversity as happening, you know, in a way that hasn't been more recent. i think about growing up as a kid and when i was a kid, it was hard to find little black dolls. hard to find s
