Why Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's Supreme Court confirmation resonates across generations
CBSN
When the Senate confirmed Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court on Thursday, 88-year-old James Meredith of Mississippi could not help but think of Constance Baker Motley—the first Black woman ever to be appointed as a federal judge.
"She is almost like a Judge Motley, except she's not as tall, but she seems to be as smart," Meredith told CBS News' Jericka Duncan.
Motley and Jackson also share an unexpected connection—they both have the same birthday.
