Ketanji Brown Jackson Is Poised To Make History

Tuesday was the second day of Ketanji Brown Jackson's Supreme Court confirmation hearings. She would be the first Black woman to serve as a Supreme Court justice, and the first Democratic nominee to be confirmed since Elena Kagan in 2010. A vote on her nomination could come in weeks, and Democrats have the votes to confirm her without Republican support.

NPR political correspondent Juana Summers spoke to black women working to support Jackson's historic nomination.
