Kyra Harris Bolden has been appointed to the Michigan Supreme Court, thus making history as the first Black woman to serve on the state’s high court. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer chose Bolden, whom she described Bolden as “passionate about the law”, to serve on the Michigan Supreme Court.
“She will bring a unique perspective to our high court as a Black woman — and as a new, working mom — that has too long been left out,” Whitmer told the Detroit News. “Kyra is committed to fighting for justice for generations, and I know she will serve Michigan admirably, building a brighter future for her newborn daughter and all our kids.” Bolden, 34, is the first Black woman and the youngest member of the Michigan Supreme Court.The post Kyra Harris Bolden Becomes First Black Woman Judge to Serve on Michigan Supreme Court first appeared on The Black Detour.
