Remembrance for Ruth Bader Ginsberg 9/20
There will be a remembrance for Brooklynite, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, on Sunday, September 19th at 1:00 PM outside the Brooklyn Municipal Building at 210 Joralemon Street.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg lived in Flatbush on East 9th Street. (See here) She attended James Madison High School.
For college, Ginsburg went to Cornell University. Then she attended Harvard Law School, where she was one of nine women in a class of 500.
When she began teaching, she was one of fewer than 20 women law professors in the US. Through the 1970s, Ginsburg’s advocacy extended the 14th Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause to women.

She fought against gender discrimination. Ginsburg won five out of six gender cases that she argued before the Supreme Court.
Former president, Barack Obama, recognized Ginsburg as a warrior for gender equality.
Governor Cuomo said he is selecting a team to select artist to create a statue of Ginsburg to be placed in Brooklyn.
Lingua Franca is on Jane Street in Manhattan. People left flowers in front of the store under the picture of Ruth.
