Americans mourn passing of liberal feminist icon Ginsburg
Sep 20, 2020
Grief-stricken Americans gathered at makeshift memorials around the country on Saturday to mourn the death of liberal, feminist icon Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, while politicians and Hollywood celebrities paid tribute online.
Democratic Party vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris and her husband, Douglas Emhoff, joined crowds outside the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington on Saturday morning. Ginsburg was “a titan - a relentless defender of justice and a legal mind for the ages,” Harris wrote in a tweet with a photo of the visit.
Some on the Supreme Court steps clutched candles, flowers, signs, and young children. Others appeared in running and biking clothes, on a detour from their morning exercising.
Ginsburg, 87, died on Friday night after a battle with pancreatic cancer, giving President Donald Trump a chance to expand the U.S. top court’s conservative majority at a time of deep divisions in America, as a presidential election looms.
Mourners heralded Ginsburg’s groundbreaking legal career and expressed dark worries about the future of the country.
“I am heartbroken,” actor Jennifer Lopez wrote on Instagram. “She was a true champion of gender equality and was a strong woman for me and all the little girls of the world to look up to.”
In Cambridge, Massachusetts, Cynthia Enloe channeled her grief by making a poster encouraging motorists to honk in honor of the pioneer of women’s rights, and stood at a busy intersection on Saturday morning.
