Democratic Womenâs Caucus propose monument honoring Ruth Bader Ginsburg
By Megan Ziegler
Ginsburg died of complications from metastatic pancreatic cancer, the court said.
The Democratic Women’s Caucus introduced a bill to honor the legacy of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg with a monument in the U.S. Capitol Complex.
The introduction of the bills by both congressional chambers recognizes Ginsburg at the start of Women’s History Month. Ginsburg died at the age of 87 in September from pancreatic cancer.
The House bill sponsored by Democratic Women’s Caucus co-Chair Rep. Lois Frankel of Florida, along with Reps. Jackie Speier California, Brenda Lawrence of Michigan, Veronica Escobar of Texas and Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi of Illinois, was introduced last week and mirrors the Senate s companion bill, which was introduced by Sen. Amy Klobuchar.

The Martin & Coretta King Unity Breakfast in Selma is one of the few in-person events to mark the 56th anniversary of Bloody Sunday. It was March 7, 1965 that about 600 marchers were beaten by state troopers after crossing the Edmund Pettus Bridge to push for voting rights.
President Biden, who has been to Selma in person for previous remembrances, today delivered pre-recorded remarks to be played at the breakfast, which took place in the parking lot of Wallace Community College.
