Judges and court employees strut down the runway during BHM fashion show
The Brooklyn court system just wrapped up its 20th anniversary of Black History Month and as part of its annual tradition it closed it out with a fashion show extravaganza where judges and court employees ditched their uniforms for the latest trends.
“We welcome each and every one of you to our 20th year,” said Justice Deborah Dowling when she welcomed the audience of over 100 people who packed the lobby of the Supreme Court, Civil Term.
Black History Month (BHM) in the Brooklyn courts goes back further than 20 years, but it’s been 20 years since the celebration became a month long. Justice Dowling gave credit to former chair of the Black History Month Committee, Izetta Johnson, for making the annual tradition what it is.
