President Obama has nominated the first Hispanic jurist, Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court. Obama highly praised Sotomayor’s credentials and fascinating personal story of growing up in a low income Latino family.
“When Sonia Sotomayor ascends those marble steps to assume her seat on the highest court of the land, America will have taken another important step towards realizing the ideal that is etched above its entrance: equal justice under the law,” Obama said.
Sotomayor grew up in a New York housing project where her parents had moved from Puerto Rico and now she will make history as the Supreme Court’s first Hispanic member. Around one million Hispanics immigrate to the United States each year and stories like this bring awareness to the contributions Hispanics make to the U.S. in many ways.
