Viky McDonald(WASHINGTON) As Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson enters a historic and high-profile week of confirmation hearings, Black law students from across the country are showing up in droves to show Jackson they "have her back." "We have students coming in from New York, Dallas, Chicago, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Iowa, Seattle," Simone Yhap, National Chair of the National Black Law Students Association and a third-year law student at Northeastern University, told ABC News. More than 100 Black law students from 17 schools will gather at the nation's capital this week for events marking Jackson's confirmation. In partnership with Demand Justice, National Black Law Student Association, and the Black Public Defender Association, the students will rally outside of the Capitol as Jackson arrives on Monday and host a watch party of the hearing. Jackson, 51, is the first Black woman nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court in its 233-year history. Viky McDonald, one
