Meghan Markle recently lent her voice to a special op-ed piece in honour of Black History Month! As Hello! shares, the Duchess of Sussex contributed to university professor Anita Hill's article about the significance of the Supreme Court's decision to nominate a Black woman, reflecting on what it means in a historical context.
Meghan says Supreme Court "opened new ground"
Meghan specifically mentioned Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson by name, saying that her nomination "has opened new ground for women's representation at the highest level of a judicial system that for too long has tilted against the very community she hails from." She then went on to address how this event can inspire both generations of young girls, as well as a reflection on Black history within a broader cultural context.
The Duchess of Sussex urged people to "remind ourselves that Black achievement is something that exists not just today or yesterday, and not just in moments of celebration, but as a fabric woven into the entire chronicle of the American story." Hill, who works at Brandeis University, explained why she wanted to have Meghan involved in her article.
