Cory Booker, ‘You Had Our Back’

Subject

U.S. Supreme Court; Ketanji Brown Jackson; Senator Cory Booker

Description

Less than an hour after the Senate confirmed Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court, Sherrilyn Ifill, a former president of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, walked into Senator Cory Booker’s Capitol Hill office. The two locked in a prolonged embrace, his husky frame draped over her smaller one, and she told him, “You had our back. You had our back. You had our back. You had our back,” repeating the phrase like an incantation as Booker wept onto her shoulder.
