NAACP to Hold ‘Confirm Ketanji Brown Jackson’ Watch Party

Washington, DC - On Monday, March 21, the NAACP will hold a 'Confirm Ketanji Brown Jackson' watch party to celebrate and support the confirmation of Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court of the United States.



Since 1789, of the 115 people who have served on the Supreme Court, only three of them have been people of color – and only five have been women.

Join the NAACP in celebrating, supporting, and preparing for a more inclusive Court, and hear from leaders and public figures on the significance of this moment.
