The great-granddaughter of a victim from 89 years ago has made history being sworn in as the first Black woman to serve on the Michigan Supreme Court. Kyra Harris Bolden rose from being a member of the state House to serving in a critical decision-making role ensuring justice for those denied it, like her great-grandfather.

@thewebrecluse If that is not proof that we are rising.. I do not know what is.

@JazzCrafter There is very little power to make change in the government which should be pretty clear given its nearly impossible for even the president to enact real and meaningful change. I can appreciate that she has risen up, but it won't truly amount to much in the world we live in.

@thewebrecluse ..but history proves that we progress anyway.. and we cannot just dismiss the accomplishments of black women.. I disagree.. and we still rise.. we have to.

@JazzCrafter Looking at the reality of our situation in the world isn't a dismissal by any means. I always acknowledge. I wouldn't have shared it otherwise. ❤️
