A bronze statue of late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will be unveiled in her hometown next year. The statue, which was created with Ginsburg's participation and approval, will be located at City Point Brooklyn, the commercial and residential complex announced this week.
The statue will be unveiled on March 15, 2021, which is Ginsburg's birthday and also falls during Women's History Month. Ginsburg, who died last month due to complications of metastatic pancreas cancer, would have turned 88 on her next birthday.
The statue was created by artists Gillie and Marc as a part of their "Statues for Equality" project. The artistic duo has created and commissioned dozens of statues of famous women for public spaces in cities around the world.
The couple said their final statue of Ginsburg, "which she endorsed, reflects her wish to be depicted in a dignified manner."
"With the two steps on its large base representing the Supreme Court and the climb she made to get there, the work is designed to provide the public with an opportunity to stand at her side, and gain inspiration from her journey fighting for equal rights," the artists said.
To mark the occasion, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams will declare March 15 Justice Ginsburg Day in Brooklyn, City Point Brooklyn said in a press release. "No one can dispute the towering achievements of this judicial giant and the value of adding her likeness to the landscape of our city," Adams said in the release.

Tear it down!!! No statues of white interlopers!
From Mark Steyn:
“The hotel restaurant (see top right) is dominated by “a massive pointillist portrait of late Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg that’s made out of 20,000 hand-painted tampons (the release notes organic tampon company CORA donated them all).”
Yes. I don’t get it. She was thoroughly unremarkable and forgettable.
That statue reeks of White Privilege. Sort of a bronzy kind of White Privilege... It’s got to go.
Tens of millions of the aborted unborn cry out, “TEAR IT DOWN !”
Forgot the link to the article and photo of this portrait.

What’s the over/under for when BLM/Antifa tears it down?
I thought it was Mr. Atoz.
>> Nobody knew who she was.
Huh? She was a hard core ACLU leftist.
It’s missing the Satanic pentagram that she stands in.
What is the over/under on number of days before someone messes with it or tips it over?
That’ll happen right after Vladimir Lenin’s 20’ granite statue in Seattle is toppled.
Looks like an Easter Chocolate Bunny that was left in the sun.
The statue will be unveiled on March 15, 2021, which is Ginsburg’s birthday and also falls during Women’s History Month.

I must have missed Men’s History Month... when was that, again?
Probably’ll draw rats...
TEAR IT DOWN!!!
I remember Mr. Atoz from Star Trek.
Will Putin be invited .... I’m sure he could heap praises on one of his Bolshevik groupies.
