President Joe Biden announced his pick for Supreme Court nominee last week, revealing he’d selected the 51-year-old to replace Justice Stephen Breyer who is retiring after nearly 30 years on the bench.
Jackson was born in Washington D.C. and grew up in Miami, Florida. She earned an undergraduate and law degree from Harvard University and once clerked for Justice Breyer.

If confirmed, Judge Jackson will be the first Black woman to sit on the nation’s high court.
