NEW YORK A 7-foot-tall bronze statue honoring late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was unveiled Friday morning in her Brooklyn hometown.
Borough President Eric Adams and Assemblywoman Rodneyse Bichotte pulled a sheet off the 650-pound sculpture in the lobby of downtown Brooklyn’s City Point shopping center as cameras clicked.
“She kept that Brooklyn pride and stride as she sat on the bench,” said Adams. “She made it clear right out of Midwood that she was happy to be a Brooklynite.”
Brooklyn is returning the love. Her March 15, 1933, birthday will now be celebrated as Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Day in the city’s most populous borough.

Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson Signs Into Law A Near-Total Abortion Ban
The legislation prohibits abortion in the state unless a pregnancy poses a risk to the mother s life. A legal challenge to the bill is virtually certain.
Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R) has signed a legally dubious ban on nearly all abortions in Arkansas, where the procedure is already extremely difficult for women to access.
The new law outlaws abortion except in cases where the pregnancy poses a risk to the mother’s life, making it one of the most restrictive such measures in the U.S. It makes no exceptions for patients pregnant through rape or incest ― an omission that even Hutchinson once said concerned him.
