This historic occasion features Jackson, the first Black woman to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court, alongside trailblazer, Harvey B. Gantt, the first Black mayor of Charlotte and first Black student to integrate Clemson University, in conversation.

With honesty and heart, she'll share powerful personal stories of her parents nurturing love and support during her upbringing, reflecting the aspirations of a post Civil Rights era. Offering a profound look at the values that shaped her path, her life is also one of perseverance, hope and ambition. Lovely One is a compelling reminder of the strength found in bold dreams and determination.
