More than 100 Black law students and public defenders from across the nation have been in Washington D. C for the historic confirmation hearings for Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson.

Jackson’s hearing comes as less than 5 percent of attorneys nationwide are African American, according to the American Bar Association.

For law student Niya Young, this moment is inspirational. She said she wants to be public defender eventually a judge.

“It’s breathtaking - representation is so important,” said Young, a third-year law student at the University of Missouri School of Law.
