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.

How long till BLM tears it down? (Sarc)
Out of Ginsbergs hundred law clerks, only one was black.
When will it be torn down?
Of course it will be. She was on the Court, it doesnt matter that she was a lefty, she aint lefty enough.
She once used the term “sexual preference,” therefore it must be torn down!
Tell BLM she is a confederate and send them in to tear it down
That what people said about RBG when she was alive.
Why is she barefoot?
So when can WE pull it down?
ACB will take over for her ... carry on her work
Can pro-life protesters knock it over?
White privilege on full display.
Now that is a statue that Black Lives Matter should pull down. she is/was a racist. Out of 160 position that hired only one was black. Prima facia evidence that racism played a big part of her hiring practices.
She also did not want to retire during a Republican administration so she waited for Hillary to be elected. Got Obama instead. She knew her replacement under Obama would be a woman of color so waited it out for Hillary again. Go Trumped instead. Tried to wait him out but has been called to stand before God instead.
A real looser and a racist to boot. Build her statue, hypocrits
What would the reaction be if radicals tore it down?
Promise? I'll get right on it. Seattle is on I-90, yes?
It’d be a shame if someone dropped by regularly and dropped birdseed around its feet..
All of human history.
