On Friday, President Biden announced his nomination of federal judge Katangi Brown Jackson

to the Supreme Court.

If confirmed, Jackson will replace retiring Justice Stephen Breyer, the move fulfills Biden's

pledge to nominate the first black woman to the court.

So what do we know about this historic nominee?

For that, I'll hand things off to Ken Hedew that producer, Charlotte Freeland.

A Harvard-educated attorney who clerked for a Supreme Court Justice and serves on the DC

Circuit Court.

This sounds like the pedigree of a typical Supreme Court Justice nominee, but nothing about

Judge Katangi Brown Jackson is typical.

She's only a second-generation college student.

She got her teeth as a public defender.

She's a woman, and she's black.

Since the Supreme Court was created in 1789, there have been 115 justices.

Only two have been black.

Only five have been women.

None have been a black woman.

President Biden's Joyce of Jackson fulfills his campaign promise to nominate the first

black woman to the Supreme Court.

A person, I will nominate, will be someone with extraordinary qualifications, character,

experience, and integrity.

And that person will be the first black woman ever nominated to the United States Supreme
