Local pols unveiled a new statue of the late United States Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg at Downtown Brooklyn’s City Point shopping complex Friday to honor the Brooklyn-born pioneer.
“Justice Ginsburg is a product of this borough and we are so proud of that,” said Brooklyn Democratic Party boss and Flatbush Assembly Member Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn at the March 12 ceremony. “Ruth Bader Ginsburg played an absolutely essential role in establishing modern law on equal protection as it relates to equality between the sexes. She is a role model to me and to everyone.”
