The Legacy of RGB

“Born in 1933 in Brooklyn, New York, Bader taught at Rutgers University Law School and then at Columbia University, where she became its first female tenured professor. She served as the director of the Women’s Rights Project of the American Civil Liberties Union during the 1970s, and was appointed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia in 1980. Named to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1993 by President Bill Clinton, she continued to argue for gender equality.”

As a person versed in navigating life’s trials, overcoming obstacles, and flourishing in the face of adversity, the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg leaves in her wake an iconic legacy of strength, resilience, and compassion. Seen as a fighting voice for women’s rights, equality, progress, and hope, Ruth Bader Ginsburg served as a beacon of truth, a protector, and an advocate for preserving the humanity of a nation.

She was nominated to the Supreme Court by President Bill Clinton in 1993, and served as the second Supreme Court female justice, advocating for women’s rights and paving the way for generations of women until her death on September 18, 2020.
