Fletcher deserves applause for appointing first Black Supreme Court Justice.

This is GREAT news indeed and Fletcher rightfully deserves GREAT credit for it. He has appointed the first Black to the Kentucky Supreme Court. Read about it here and see the pictures here. Whatever other shortcomings the Gov. may be accused of having, appointing the first Black Justice, and recognizing as he did during the investiture of Justice McNulty that "his ascension creates a role model for African-American children, whom he said now know the dream is real ... and that [w]e've had a history of prejudice in this state [and] I think really this day speaks that we’ve come so far”, is very admirable. No matter what, the Gov. can take credit for appointing the first Black Kentucky Supreme Court Justice -- a feat that brings the state closer to the present century.
