The Gantt Center is excited to welcome Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson to Charlotte for a special evening to discuss her inspiring memoir, Lovely One. This historic occasion features Jackson, the first Black woman to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court, alongside trailblazer, Harvey B. Gantt, the first Black mayor of Charlotte and first Black student to integrate Clemson University, in conversation. Justice Jackson will reflect on her remarkable journey from her familys legacy beyond segregation to her groundbreaking confirmation. With honesty and heart, she will share powerful personal stories of her parents nurturing love and support during her upbringing, reflecting the aspirations of a post Civil Rights era. Offering a profound look at the values that shaped her path, her life is also one of perseverance, hope, and ambition. Lovely One is a compelling reminder of the strength found in bold dreams and determination.
