U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is the first Black woman ever confirmed to the highest court in the land, and she’s been a consistent and clear voice of dissent on it. She’s also the author of a memoir, “Lovely One,” which was picked as this year’s choice for the Multnomah County Library Everybody Reads program. We talk to Jackson in front of an audience of Portland high school students.
