Brooklyn’s Family Court celebrates Black History Month
The Kings County Family Court hosted its second annual Black History Month celebration at its courthouse on Thursday with a powerfully energetic program of special guests and a musical performance.
“The theme of this year’s Black History Month celebration is a ‘Celebration of Black Life, History and Culture,’” said Hon. Jeanette Ruiz, supervising judge of the Family Court. “Our program today really exemplifies history and culture.
“Our keynote speaker, Hon. Sheila Abdus-Salaam, is the embodiment of history as the first African-American woman to be appointed to the highest court of our state,” Ruiz said.
