Last week, we all felt the tremendous loss of Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
However, the country is committed to keeping her memory and legacy alive. New Yorkers are proud to honor one of their own with a forthcoming statue in Brooklyn and a few subway station modifications. (Hopped on the train at Ruth Street lately?)
