Alan Page is verified on Twitter after rejection for not being 'notable' enough

Minnesota's first Black Supreme Court justice and NFL Hall of Famer is finally verified on Twitter.

The Vikings legend was denied verification because evidence provided didn't meet the social media company's "criteria for notability," according to a response Alan Page, 76, tweeted in August. On Thursday, the Hall of Fame defensive end appeared to be verified with a blue tick when he tweeted "#Boosted."

Page is a retired state Supreme Court justice who received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2018 from President Donald Trump in a White House ceremony. He has a Minneapolis public school named after him.
