STATEMENT: Delaware Legislative Black Caucus celebrates historic Supreme Court appointment
The State Senate unanimously confirmed the nomination of Tamika Montgomery-Reeves to the Delaware Supreme Court on Thursday. In response, the Delaware Legislative Black Caucus issued the following statement.
Today’s confirmation vote is an important and long-overdue step forward for the First State. This vote sends a clear message about the kind of future we are building in Delaware.
Justice Tamika Montgomery-Reeves is uniquely qualified to fill the role of Supreme Court Justice. We are confident that her vast experience and knowledge of the law will be a benefit to all people seeking justice in this state.
Importantly, today’s confirmation also signals to countless young people in communities from Claymont to Delmar that the promise of equal opportunity is supported by the lived stories of real people and not just political rhetoric – a fact that will no doubt lead even more bright young people to the top of our judiciary.
Justice Montgomery-Reeves is the Thurgood Marshall of our generation and takes her place etched in the history of Delaware.
This is how progress is made. It is the roadmap for building the kind of equitable and inclusive society, for which this country is striving. We are proud to celebrate with our fellow Delawareans today and look forward to continuing this important progress in the remaining months of the 150th General Assembly.
