At a kitchen table

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, Supreme Court nominee, in her remarks this afternoon:

“My father made the fateful decision to transition from his job as a public high-school history teacher and go to law school. Some of my earliest memories are of him sitting at the kitchen table reading his law books. I watched him study, and he became my first professional role model.”

I like seeing the kitchen table in her story. Kitchen tables can make good desks.

You can watch and listen at C-SPAN. Judge Jackson’s remarks begin at 12:49.
