Mayor Bill de Blasio officially renamed the Downtown Brooklyn Municipal Building after United States Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Monday, honoring the late trailblazing Brooklynite on what would have been her 88th birthday.
“It is a moment today to celebrate one of our heroes — one of our sheroes — one of the people who made such a profound impact on this country,” said de Blasio outside the building on Joralemon Street on March 15. “There is no greater example of someone who changed American history and women’s history, no greater example than Ruth Bader Ginsburg.”
