Out of 115 U.S. Supreme Court justices, only five have been women. None have been Black women. President Biden has the opportunity to change that. It has been a long time coming, but that's nothing new for Black women, who are accustomed to being held out of the spotlight. In a city that is proud to be the home of Frederick Douglass, how many Rochestarians know the names Rosetta and Anna Murray Douglass?
We discuss the overlapping threads of those two women and women like Judge Katanji Brown Jackson. Our guests:
- Michelle Daniels, executive director of the Daniels Democracy Community Foundation
- Brianna Milon, local media professional, WXIR radio host, and blogger for 540 West Main who is moderating a 540 West Main event highlighting the work of Rosetta and Anna Murray Douglass
- Natalie Ann Knott, local attorney
