Brooklyn Borough President Eric L. Adams announced this week that he is launching a campaign to  rename the Brooklyn Municipal Building, an historic edifice in Downtown Brooklyn that houses a number of City offices, after Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

BP Adams first proposed this renaming last November as part of testimony he submitted to the Mayoral Advisory Commission on City Art, Monuments, and Markers, highlighting the opportunity to have the city’s buildings better reflect its diverse history and community fabric. In his letter to Mayor de Blasio, he further outlined why Justice Ginsburg was deserving of this unique honor at this time in history.

“In an era where popular culture puts performing artists and sports stars on a public pedestal, Ruth Bader Ginsburg has risen to incredible levels of iconic admiration and love,” wrote Borough President Adams in a Change.org/RBG petition. “Society often waits to recognize a lifetime of accomplishment until after that lifetime ends. In this case, we can honor the life and service of Ruth Bader Ginsburg during what we hope will be a long and active remaining life.”

Justice Ginsburg grew up in Flatbush, attended the East Midwood Jewish Center with her family and studied in New York City public schools until she graduated from James Madison High School. She graduated with a bachelor’s degree from Cornell University and finished first in her class at Columbia Law School. Later, she became the first tenured woman at Columbia Law School, teaching there from 1972 to 1980 and co-authoring the first law school casebook on sex discrimination.

In 1980, President Jimmy Carter nominated Justice Ginsburg to a seat on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, where she served until President Bill Clinton’s nomination of her to the Supreme Court. Justice Ginsburg became the second-ever woman to serve on the nation’s highest court, and the first of Jewish heritage; in 2016, she surpassed former Associate Justice Louis Brandeis’ longevity to become the longest-serving Jewish justice in Supreme Court history.

“The life of Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a quintessential New York story,” says BP Adams. “She rose to the apex of her profession, staying true to her ideals and principles. [Justice] Ginsburg has become an icon, affectionately referred to as the ‘Notorious RBG’.”

The petition has already been backed by a coalition of elected officials, community leaders, legal scholars, and women’s rights activists, including, State Senator Brian Kavanagh; Assembly Member Jo Anne Simon; Brooklyn Bar Association (BBA); Brooklyn Bar Association Volunteer Lawyers Project (VLP); Brooklyn Heights Association (BHA); Brooklyn Historical Society (BHS); Brooklyn Law School (BLS); Columbia Law School, and others. Mayor Bill de Blasio, however, would need to grant approval before the renaming can take place.
