🧵This Black History Month I'm highlighting the confirmation of Ketanji Brown Jackson as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States in March 2022, a historic moment as Justice Jackson represents the first Black woman to serve on our country's highest court.

Did you know that early in his adult life, Dr. Martin Luther King attended Sunday Vespers at @SUNOKnights & that the Baton Rouge bus boycott organized by Rev. T.J. Jemison was a model for the Montgomery bus boycott? Dr. King's impact is felt across this nation today & every day.

The lives of these men inspire, motivate and remind me to try to be a better person everyday.

Let’s uplift and celebrate Fathers everywhere who are pillars of their families and our community.

🧵 Father’s Day is a time to celebrate all of the fantastic dads in our communities. I’m remembering the impact my father, Louis C. Griffin, uncles Eddie Shannon Sr. and William Carter, and grandfather, Amos Shannon, have played in my life. #HappyFarthersDay

This Memorial Day join me in honoring those who served this nation fearlessly and made the ultimate sacrifice to defend our freedom.

In the words of Eleanor Roosevelt, “Freedom makes a huge requirement of every human being. With freedom comes responsibility.”

...Then, Miriam Waltzer, who immigrated to the US at age 22, was the 1st woman on Criminal Court.

I am grateful for the trail they blazed and honored to follow in their footsteps in my service on the Louisiana Supreme Court!

As we approach the end of women’s history month, I want to honor the first women to serve as Judge in Orleans Parish District Courts.

First, Joan Bernard Armstrong was the 1st African American woman to serve on Juvenile Court...

...Tureaud is recognized as a legal genius whom many current African American lawyers look to with pride and as a model of professionalism.

🧵A.P. Tureaud, the first African American attorney to have his portrait hung at the Louisiana Supreme Court was a @HowardU graduate and native New Orleanian who headed the legal team for the NOLA chapter of the @NAACP during the Civil Rights Movement...

[Supreme Court Justice Piper Griffin @piperforjustice]

...Joining forces with Thurgood Marshall and Robert Carter Tureaud worked to successfully end Jim Crow segregation in New Orleans.

His best known case is Brown v. Board of Education which overturned Plessy v. Ferguson, setting the stage for desegregation...

Service to our communities is the most valuable gift we can give this holiday season.

Consider sharing your time or pantry with those less fortunate if you are able.

Take care & be blessed.

[Supreme Court Justice Piper Griffin @piperforjustice]

Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving!

We all have much to be grateful for, even with all that is going on in the world today.

17 years ago today, New Orleans was struck by Hurricane Katrina. As we remember those affected by the devastation, especially the Black & Brown communities that are often hit disproportionately, may we continue to service our communities with compassion & prepare for the future.

[Supreme Court Justice Piper Griffin @piperforjustice]

From the sunrise church services to the annual #Easter egg hunts, I hope you are spending this holiday making memories with those you love most. Have a blessed day!
