Ketanji Brown Jackson
From "Most Likely to Succeed" to the Supreme Court
From the Series Beginner Biography (LOOK! Books ™)
Born in Washington, DC, in 1970, and raised in Miami, Florida, Ketanji Brown Jackson developed an interest in law at an early age.
While in grade school, she sat with her father and watched him complete his law school assignments. And though some people, including a school guidance counselor, discouraged Ketanji from aiming high, she proved them wrong and graduated with honors from Harvard Law School after being named in high school as Most Likely to Succeed. She went on to make history by becoming the first Black woman to be confirmed to the United States Supreme Court in 2022.
