Episode Details

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, speaking on Michelle Obama’s podcast, reflected on her Harvard journey and the vital role of finding community among peers of color — a stark contrast to her high school isolation. Her remarks come amid heightened scrutiny of the Supreme Court’s affirmative action ruling, which has already sparked enrollment declines at elite schools like Harvard. Though she recused herself from Harvard’s case due to her past board role, she participated in UNC’s related case. As the Justice Department investigates Harvard’s compliance and the university pushes back, the debate over race, diversity, and admissions continues to evolve — with Jackson’s personal story underscoring the human cost of policy change.
