In this uplifting biography, author and narrator Carole Weatherford celebrates the accomplishments of Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. Echoing the insistent rhythms of the Maya Angelou poem "Still I Rise," Weatherford traces Justice Jackson's ascent from her early years in Miami, Florida, where she found academic success but faced racism both personally and professionally, through her activism as a college student and her distinguished judicial career. Weatherford's narration is crisp, spare, and suffused with joy for what Jackson's rise means for her and generations to come who will look up to her. Weatherford includes both a timeline and a heartfelt letter to her own granddaughter about the meaning of this historic moment. N.M. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine
