The great-granddaughter of a #lynching 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.
@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.
@thewebrecluse Indeed.. it is what we do, after all..
@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. ❤️
