IN MEMORY OF AN AMERICAN HERO

All of us at the National Constitution Center extend our deepest condolences to the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's family, friends, and colleagues.

On Constitution Day, Thursday, September 17, the National Constitution Center awarded the 32nd annual Liberty Medal to Justice Ginsburg for her efforts to advance liberty and equality for all. To honor Justice Ginsburg, the Center aired a video tribute featuring performances by internationally renowned opera singers and tributes from special friends of Justice Ginsburg.
