President Joe Biden has nominated Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court. The historic announcement means judge Brown could be the first Black woman to serve on the nation’s highest court. Civil rights groups have welcomed the nomination. Our guest this week is Holli Holliday, president of Sisters Lead Sisters Vote, an advocacy group that has pushed for a Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court.
