Persevere…….

I heard a word yesterday in the Senate’s interviewing (or interrogation) of Judge Jackson’s possible appointment to the Supreme Court of this nation. A word so powerful that it may have not only changed a life, but perhaps will have an impact on a whole nation.

I was moved as Judge Jackson described her personal angst in her arrival at Harvard University and Law school as to whether she fit into such a place. And in a chance encounter with a perfect stranger, who may have seen the fear and worry on her countenance, she heard , “persevere.”

Persevere, Ketanji Brown Jackson.
