The mural, located at 2150 Market St. in downtown Denver, depicts Ginsburg’s trademark steely gaze, delicate neck collar and fishnet gloves. The memorial also includes the symbols for both justice and feminism, a female gender symbol with a fist in the middle, and the word “ICON” beneath Ginsburg’s portrait.
“A legal, cultural and feminist icon, Ruth Bader Ginsburg changed the world and left a powerful legacy. She used her power in the Supreme Court to fight for gender equality, women’s interests, and civil rights and liberties.
“She showed generations of Americans what it really looks like to be a strong woman. Now that she’s gone, the future of our country seems uncertain and at risk. It has a lot of us feeling uneasy. We must muster up the courage and continue her legacy by fighting for what is right and just.
“RBG once said, ‘To make life a little better for people less fortunate than you, that’s what I think a meaningful life is. One lives not just for oneself but for one’s community.’ As artists, we vow to live a life that is tremendously meaningful and pledge to work for the benefit of communities all throughout the country.”
The mural is located at 2150 Market Street.
Ginsburg, the longest serving woman on the U.S. Supreme Court, died at age 87 from complications of metastatic pancreas cancer. The Court said she died Friday evening, “surrounded by her family at her home in Washington, D.C.” (from (
