According to a release sent to Blavity, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. administered the constitutional oath and Associate Justice Stephen G. Breyer administered the judicial oath in a ceremony. A small group of people were present, including Jackson’s family.

Another formal ceremony to celebrate Jackson’s new appointment will occur at a later date.

According to NPR, Jackson was nominated for the Supreme Court by President Joe Biden in February. The nomination came after he promised to nominate the first Black woman to SCOTUS.

“It has taken 232 years and 115 prior appointments for a Black woman to be selected to serve on the Supreme Court of the United States, but we’ve made it. We’ve made it. All of us,” Jackson said at a White House event after the Senate vote, CNN reports.

She continued, stating that she has dedicated “my career to public service because I love this country and our Constitution and the rights that make us free.”

As Blavity previously reported, the 51-year-old was confirmed to the Supreme Court in April with a 53 to 47 vote, NPR reports.

She replaces Breyer, 83, who she clerked for after she graduated from Harvard Law School in 1996.
