"She Will Rise" on the importance of having a Black woman on the Supreme Court: "We believe that representation is important"
CBSN
With President Biden nominating Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court, the president appears to have fulfilled one of his campaign promises to put the first Black woman on the high court. But the groundwork for the choice was laid far earlier.
Attorney Kim Tignor tapped some of her lawyer friends during the height of the social justice movement in the summer of 2020 to form the group "She Will Rise."
"There is not another Black women's created-and-led entity within this space that is helping to inform the discourse, and this is a labor of love for us," Tignor told CBS News' Nikole Killion. "I mean, we are living this."
