After taking her constitutional and judicial oaths, Ketanji Brown Jackson became the 116th Supreme Court Justice and the first Black woman to sit on that bench.
Amira Barger watched the swearing in with her 9-year-old daughter Audrey.
It's the first time Black women have seen themselves reflected and represented in the highest court in the land. It was even more personal for Amira and Audrey - who's mixed race family looks like much like Justice Jackson's. Amira and Audrey also watched Justice Jackson's contentious confirmation hearings together."I was really happy for her that she like powered through all of the discouraging moments - especially Ted Cruz," said 9 year old Audrey.
Margaret Russell is a constitutional law professor at Santa Clara University. She calls Thursday's swearing in inspirational to all generations.
