President Biden & SC Justice Brown Jackson / Fast Facts




So Biden served the first Black President for eight years. Hired the first Black and South Asian Vice President. And appointed the first Black woman to the Supreme Court.

Say what you will about the man, but it’s pretty damn remarkable.

From 10, 2021
A record number of Black women are expected to run in 2022

Melanie Campbell of the Black Women's Roundtable
'People ought to get used to seeing us':
More Black women are running for office, inspired in part by Vice President Kamala Harris, the Black social justice movement and the lack of diverse representation in politics. To win, many are participating in training programs designed to help them overcome sexism and racism.
Melanie Campbell of the Black Women's Roundtable thinks it is time for this voting bloc to get the respect it deserves.
