A day after Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson made history, students at Dallas ISD’s Judge Barefoot Sanders Law Magnet delved into what it meant for them.
Admiral leaned over his desk and quickly began writing. First Black president. First Black vice president. And now, the first Black woman who will be a Supreme Court justice.
The teacher asked his students to write to Jackson, incorporating government class terms like “bipartisan” and “confirmation” into their letter marking her achievement. “It is no secret that it is hard to accomplish things as a minority and as a woman,” Rodriguez read. “I am truly grateful for women like yourself as it opens so many doors for not only me but the generations of girls behind me.”
The remediation plan that resulted from that lawsuit called for the creation of several magnet programs, which went on to encompass the Townview Magnet Center. DISD, meanwhile, remained under federal oversight until Judge Sanders declared it officially desegregated less than two decades ago. “I learned how to reason and how to write, and I gained the self confidence that can sometimes be quite difficult for women and minorities to develop at an early age,” she said.
