U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has recently published her memoir, "Lovely One." (The title, according to Jackson’s aunt, is the meaning of her first and middle names, Ketanji Onyika, in an African dialect.) In an interview with NPR, Jackson describes her confirmation hearing — during which many senators criticized her judicial philosophy — along with her multi-generational path to becoming the first Black woman to sit on the U.S. Supreme Court. She also talks about her support for a binding code of ethics for the justices of the court.
