Saturday, August 8, 2009 marked the day that the first Latin@ was sworn in as a Supreme Court Justice! Sonia Sotomayor became the first Latin@ and only the third woman to hold this post. She is the 111th Justice of the United States Supreme Court. At the age of 55, Sotomayor will also be sitting on the court for several years hopefully decades!
As a Latina from the Bronx, she most definitely will shape the future of Latino/as and people of color in the United States. So felicidades to our new Justice, Sra. Sotomayor!
