A wave of smiles and hugs spread across the otherwise somber crowd Thursday afternoon at the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis.
News had broken, it seemed mainly via iPhone, that the Senate had confirmed Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court.
I got the news on my iPhone as I was looking up at the big memorial wreath on the railing of the balcony where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated on April 4, 1968. I imagined the joy he’d have felt hearing that the Senate had sent the first Black woman to the high court.
