Federal Judge J. Michelle Childs was born in Detroit in 1966. She is now serving as a federal district judge in South Carolina but was nominated last month by President Biden to serve on
the Court of Appeals in Washington, DC. Judge Childs is
reported to be among the three most likely candidates to be
nominated by President Biden for the upcoming opening on
the Supreme Court. Detroit has contributed a great deal to our democracy. Perhaps Judge Childs will continue that tradition.

Who was the last Detroit person to serve on the Supreme Court? Undoubtedly Frank Murphy was the most well know
Detroit resident to serve with the Supremes but he was
born in the Thumb.
