RALEIGH, N.C. — Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is an optimist.
“As bleak as things may seem, I have seen so many changes in my lifetime, and opportunities open for people of whatever race, religion and finally, gender,” Ginsburg said Monday evening in Raleigh.
But she is also a frequent — and unapologetic — voice of dissent on the bench.
To rousing applause, Ginsburg took to the Meymandi Concert Hall stage for Meredith College’s Lillian Parker Wallace Lecture Series. Alongside her on stage was Suzanne Reynolds, the first woman to lead the law school at Wake Forest University before stepping down as dean in June.
Much of Ginsburg's lecture was biographical, touching on her achievements in laws of equality and the importance of standing up for what you believe in — something she’s been doing her entire adult life.
