Today, we celebrate the 30th anniversary of President Clinton’s historic nomination of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg to the United States Supreme Court. During her 27 years on the nation’s highest court, Justice Ginsburg was a pioneer in advocating for gender equality, women’s rights, and civil rights.
To commemorate the day, watch President Clinton reflect on his decision to nominate Justice Ginsburg and his admiration for her unwavering commitment to public service.
Take a look behind the scenes as Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and President Clinton take the stage in front of a sold-out audience in Little Rock.
