The New Faces of Georgia's Justice System

Just outside Atlanta, a group of women are making history in Georgia’s court system. The city of South Fulton is home to the United States’ only court run entirely by African-American women. Chief Judge Tiffany Carter Sellers and her colleagues are intent on changing people’s perceptions of the legal system, beginning with their municipal court. By setting a precedent in South Fulton, they hope to stand as a model for what a court in a progressive city can look like.

This story was really uplifting!

[@starbury64]

The more ironic part about this is that A Black Lady Sketch Show did a parody on this. Uplifting.

[@acamera]

Wow, I live in North Fulton and had no idea that South Fulton had become its own city! Hopefully, they will be able to get their own school district too.

[@kuhdakuhda]

I applaud every one of you ladies , I can imagine so many young children will not only look up to y'all not only as an authority but also as a guide to third future. Believe in yourself and you too can be a success. Great story , let it be told . God bless y'all.

[@norestjoel]

they dont stand for anything. they arent promoting diversity at all. its a full court of the same gender and same race.

[@barbaricbri]

wow I've never been this early, love your channel!

[@jacklynyeh4893]

this is what the support and money of a township can do for the rights of their citizens! the goal of education and true fairness by elevating those who are arrested is a brilliant way to ensure a fair trial.

[@jacklynyeh4893]

also all of you are ignoring the fact that liberalism can do things that are good for a group of typically underrepresented peoples by enabling dreamers to educate citizens in their townships. even if this court is expensive to run, it's still...... smart.

[@atlantaolympians4548]

I live in Atlanta and I am excited for you guys

[@sugreev2001]

Where’s the diversity now?

[@raf3262]

IWroteThis say that again but slowly then think if that would help the society better.

[@ws1814]

How is being from one gender and just one race be equality or be progressive. If anything it is sexist and racist. Anyone who disagrees with that may refer to their definitions.
