Dear Associate Justice Montgomery-Reeves,

My name is Matt Winick from Ann Arbor, Michigan and I have a strong interest in learning history including social justice.  In these subjects, I like to learn the need to make civil rights stronger to reduce discrimination, have criminal justice reform to help protect people’s rights while reduce crime, and many others. Associate Justice Montgomery-Reeves, the main reason I’m writing you a letter is to explain how I find your work as Associate Justice of the Delaware Supreme Court to be very inspiring to me.

In November 2019, I was amazed on how you made history on becoming the first African American woman to become an Associate Justice of the Delaware Supreme Court. In your current role as Associate Justice of the Delaware Supreme Court, I truly appreciate on how you are a strong supporter of civil rights by advocating for people with disabilities’ rights and expressing the need to make civil rights stronger in order to help protect minorities, women, and people with disabilities from being discriminated. Supporting the need for drug treatment programs to help drug-users get the care they need to reduce drug abuse, advocating for the need for more resources to help victims of domestic violence or victims of crime get help on dealing with their trauma, and strongly express the importance for more funds for DNA testing including forensic science to help solve evidence efficiently while reduce sending an innocent person to jail is common sense for criminal justice reform. Also on criminal justice reform, I like on how you express the need for mental health court to help people with mental illness to get treatment and advocate for the importance of community services to help non-violent offenders including non violent juveniles to rehabilitate so they won’t re-offend. Another thing that I like about your work as Associate Justice of the Delaware Supreme Court is how you advocate for the need to reduce racial profiling in the criminal justice system to help protect minorities including immigrants from being oppressed and support protecting civil liberties like the fourth amendment to help protect people form unreasonable searches.  Besides your work on the Delaware Supreme Court, I like on how you use your role as an African American to help advocate for African Americans’ rights and heavily express the need for more funds to help repair African American community.

Associate Justice Montgomery-Reeves, I have autism with a learning disability. Having a disability is hard for me because I have trouble comprehending on learning different advance subjects, sometimes I struggle to communicate my thoughts, and get teased.  Your commitment to be a strong supporter of civil rights including people with disabilities’ rights really inspires me to work hard on my disability.  Also your role as current Associate Justice of the Delaware Supreme Court gives me motivation to continue to learn history including social justice. My future goal is to work in these areas to help to make civil rights stronger to reduce discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, have criminal justice reform to help protect people’s rights while reduce crime, and many others.  My letter is a gift to you for inspiring me and for Black History Month to help recognize African Americans who work hard to make a great impact on society.

I’m amazed on how you made history on becoming the first African American woman to be an Associate Justice of the Delaware Supreme Court.  I strongly believe that you are making a great difference in the Delaware Supreme Court. I’m very proud on how you are working hard to support civil rights, advocate with support criminal justice reform, and many others. You have inspire me to work hard on my disability and continue to learn history including social justice.  Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, working hard to make a great difference, and inspiring me. Please continue to advocate for common sense ideas.

Sincerely,

Matt Winick
