A statue of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was unveiled Friday morning in her native Brooklyn borough of New York City.
The unveiling comes during Women's History Month and just days before Ginsburg would have turned 88 on March 15, which Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams has declared Justice Ginsburg Day.
"RBG was clearly a symbol of what's great about this country and how, when we are inclusive, we can stop the level of exclusiveness that is pervasive throughout this country," he said.
Ginsburg, a lifelong champion of women's rights and a fierce advocate for gender equality, died from pancreatic cancer in September. Following her passing, then-President Donald Trump nominated a third conservative justice, Amy Coney Barrett, to the court during his term, giving it a 6-3 conservative majority.

It really is a beautiful tribute to her!
I just adored her.
....the lovely statue, sheshe2!
her husband Marty's recipe for his simple meatloaf. Very similar to my old one, so I just changed over in their honor.
