Sumner County General Sessions Judge Kee Bryant-McCormick was sworn into office on Aug. 30 at a ceremony at the Sumner County Courthouse. She made history as the first Black person to be elected to that position in the county. The Gallatin News reports that the ceremony included remarks by Tennessee Administrative Offices of the Courts Director Michelle Long and Gallatin Mayor Paige Brown, and a history of African American female trailblazers in Sumner County and Middle Tennessee by Gallatin native A’Niya Boone. Tennessee Supreme Court Justice Sarah Campbell administered the oath of office to Bryant-McCormick.
