Column: Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s legacy lives on through women’s rights, athletics and beyond

Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

A name synonymous with strength, tenacity, equality. A name that extends so far beyond the five syllables it is composed of, a name that helped pave the way for millions of women in America to possess some of the most fundamental rights granted to us.

It is the name of a hero.

A hero who donned a robe in favor of a cape.

A hero who served as only the second female Associate Justice on the United States Supreme Court.

A hero who was taken from us on September 18, 2020.
