Remembering Ruth Bader Ginsburg with Gratitude

on Wed, 09/23/2020 - 16:34

Grateful to learn of another powerful Brooklyn-born person whose legacy many can celebrate there and around the world. A great tribute in addition to the thousands filling the media is a statue of Ruth Bader Ginsburg (born Joan Ruth Bader) which will be installed in her birthplace of Brooklyn NY,Governor  Andrew Cuomo announced recently.

The Fort Greene Monument in honor of those 'ship prisoners' during the Revolutionary War is one that more people could appreciate as part of our shared history as well.

Much gratitude for her work and to all honoring Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (RBG, a moniker she adopted, and as a Facebook group refers to her as well for more advocacy spelled out to carry the torch.)

We can each take a moment of silence and lit candle in our hearts as people to remember loved ones and particularly as many gather to pay their respects as her body is honored in DC before being buried in a special section of the Arlington National Cemetery near her late husband Martin Ginsburg.

She was born Joan Ruth Bader on March 15th, 1933 and died on September 18th, 2020 of pancreatic cancer. Her offspring are Jane and James.

Sending love and support to all of her family, supporters and wider community at this time of her passing and remembrance.

It is valuable and fitting to read up on her many accomplishments and reasons for her decisions over the decades of her term as a Supreme Court Justice.
