Members of the public will soon have a new way of honoring the legacy of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the late Supreme Court justice and trailblazing jurist, in the borough where she was born and raised.
Kathy Hochul is calling on New York artists to submit their ideas for a memorial to the liberal icon — affectionately called “RBG” by fans — that will be installed at Pier 1 in Brooklyn Bridge Park.
“Born and raised in Brooklyn, Justice Ginsburg brought the New York values of grit, tenacity and compassion to everything she did,” Hochul said in a video statement Monday.
A committee will review submissions and select a group of finalists to advance to phase 2 for further proposal development.
The Ruth Bader Ginsburg Memorial Commission — which includes her family members, former clerks and leaders from the arts and advocacy communities — will make a recommendation among the finalists to Hochul, who will announce the winner.
