The Brooklyn Municipal Building will be named after Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Mayor Bill de Blasio says the city should honor her in every conceivable way especially in the borough she came from that gave her so much of her strength and spirit.
“What an extraordinary opportunity to say to the people of Brooklyn, here is one of your own who changed the world. Here is someone of and by and for Brooklyn.”
Brooklyn’s Borough President Eric Adams calls her a proud daughter of Brooklyn and a staunch advocate for gender equality. The mayor says the city will honor Ginsburg with her family in the near future. The Brooklyn native died Friday.
