First lady Jill Biden and Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor visited the Bronx Children’s Museum Wednesday, marking a rare moment where a justice from the nation’s highest court appeared at an event with one of the White House principals. The two women visited with children and toured the museum to celebrate the recent opening of its permanent site as well as tout the multicultural education programming it offers to the community.
Sotomayor, a Bronx native, has long been a supporter of the museum, which permanently opened its new facility last year following a more than $16 million project. The museum features an area called “Sonia’s Corner,” which honors Sotomayor and Sonia Manzano, a former actress on Sesame Street and fellow Bronx native. A White House official said the visit was coordinated through the museum but the first lady’s team was also in touch with the justice’s team about the event.
