South Florida was full of pride Thursday as Miami’s own Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson becomes the first Black woman to sit on the country’s highest court.

“She has broken the glass ceiling and we know that glass is covering the streets of Miami-Dade County now,” said Congresswoman Frederica Wilson.

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is a product of Miami-Dade Public Schools. She’s a graduate of Palmetto Senior High School, where she was on the debate team.
