Judicial icon Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a beacon of hope for women’s rights in America, passed away in September 2020, but her legacy will last forever. The liberal lioness has been memorialized in bronze, and a statue of her atop the Supreme Court’s steps will be permanently placed in her hometown of Brooklyn, New York.
The statue was unveiled this past Friday, three days before what would have been Ginsburg’s 88th birthday on March 15, a day that Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams has announced will now be known as Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Day.
