    ART SIGNED BY "FORTE"
    Juanita Kidd Stout
    (March 7, 1919 – August 21, 1998) was an American attorney and jurist who served as a justice of the
    Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
    from 1988 to 1989. She had previously operated a private legal practice in
    Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
    .
    After working in the District Attorney's office, where Stout was known for her successful prosecutions, she was appointed on an interim basis to the municipal court bench in 1959, becoming the first
    African-American
    woman to serve as a judge in the state. Elected that year to the municipal court, she was the first African-American woman elected to any judgeship in the
    United States
    . When she was appointed to the state's supreme court, Stout was the first African-American woman to serve on the Supreme Court of any state. (copied)
