The first person from Miami-Dade County to sit on the United States Supreme Court — who also is the first Black female to serve on the nation's highest court — will have a new honor next week.
The newly created Ketanji Brown Jackson Street will officially be put into place on Mar. 6, according to reports. The roadway will run on a section of Southwest 184th Street between Old Cutler Road and Caribbean Boulevard.
