Remembering Ruth Bader Ginsburg

“During her nearly three-decade-long tenure on the Supreme Court, Justice Ginsburg’s commitment to social justice led her to sometimes take the long course—exemplified in her many incisive dissents. She also signed on to concurring opinions with others on the court with whom she agreed. These concurrences were often the product of her remarkable negotiation skills as a lawyer. As has been attributed to another icon who recently died, John Lewis, and as was first coined by Martin Luther King, it can be said that Justice Ginsburg’s judicial work embodied the steadfast belief that the arc of justice bends wide, but it always bends toward justice.”
—Phoebe Haddon ’72, chancellor emerita of Rutgers University-Camden

“Justice Ginsburg… You are the epitome of brilliance, grace and wit framed in strong and unswerving values of rights, equality and justice. I will always carry your encouraging words and your warmth within me as I continue on the path of fighting for social change. Rest in Power, Rest in Love.”
—S. Mona Sinha ’88, chair of the Fund for Women’s Equality and Women Moving Millions
