Join us to honor and celebrate the late
RUTH BADER GINSBURG
​“Notorious” RBG
ON HOW SHE'D LIKE TO BE REMEMBERED
"Someone who used whatever talent she had to do her work to the very best of her ability. And to help repair tears in her society, to make things a little better through the use of whatever ability she has. To do something, as my colleague David Souter would say, outside myself. ‘Cause I’ve gotten much more satisfaction for the things that I’ve done for which I was not paid."
— From an interview with MSNBC
