Day 6 - 228 -- Amazing Advocate

If you haven't seen RBG, find it and watch it. The documentary released just over a year ago, details the advocacy work of Ruth Bader Ginsberg. It provides highlights of her life and personal struggles, with a focus on her law career from law school to the US Supreme Court.  Her arguments before the Supreme Court earlier in her career dealt with ensuring equity for all citizens, particularly women's and person's of colour equal rights. More recently, she has become known for her dissenting opinions. In popular culture, she has been named "Notorious R.B.G" -- a title derived from the hip hop artist, Nortorious B.I.G. She turned 86 in the past spring.

Lyrics of the song that played over the credits describe the role she has played in the movement for the rights of many US citizens. Her opinions have influence beyond those borders, too, as do the many global citizens working diligently for improved human rights issues. The lyrics note that an individual is not alone in the fight. Enjoy!
