Justice Sotomayor - A Puerto Rican Girl From The Bronx Makes Good.

We are all proud of you Justice Sotomayor. Coming from Harlem

and having Puerto Rican and Black friends who grew up in your

project and attended Cardinal Spellman High School, I personally

know just how far  you have come.

 

In New York City, many Puerto Ricans look like Blacks and many

Blacks look like Puerto Ricans. But Justice Sotomayor you show all

America’s children that they are all equal and should therefore be

given an equal chance and  opportunity at succeeding based on their

own merits and hard work.
