Miami-Dade County Commissioner Danielle Cohen Higgins has announced the street naming ceremony for associate Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, Supreme Court of the United States.
The ceremony will be held on Monday, March 6, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. at the Dennis C. Moss Cultural Arts Center.
In October 2022, the Board of County Commissioners unanimously approved Commissioners Cohen Higgins’ legislation co-designating a major arterial road in south Miami-Dade County as “Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson Street.”
The street naming will allow Miami-Dade County and South Dade to recognize and honor the accomplishments of Justice Jackson.
“As a mother, lawyer, public servant, and woman of color, the Justice is an inspiration, to say the very least. It is my absolute honor to recognize the Justice and to do so during Women’s History month,” said Commissioner Cohen Higgins.
Justice Jackson’s confirmation to the Supreme Court was a historic moment for the nation, and South Dade. She is the first black woman to sit on the Supreme Court and the first Supreme Court Justice from Miami-Dade County.
She was raised in South Dade where both her parents still reside.
