Justice Kenneth Bell was the 81st Justice (2003-2008) of the Florida Supreme Court. At the time of his appointment, he was the first justice from Pensacola in a century and the first from west of Tallahassee since 1917. Justice Bell is a seventh-generation Pensacolian whose paternal ancestors immigrated to the Pensacola area around 1819, when Florida still was a Spanish colony.  Listen as he discusses why he's proud of his Northwest Florida roots.
