There are remembrances all over the country for the Late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. One was held in San Pedro Monday night.

SAN PEDRO, Calif. - At Liberty Hill in San Pedro people honored the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg with a candlelight vigil on Monday night.

Some wore t-shirts with the words: Notorious RBG. She was a brilliant lawyer, litigator and Supreme Court Justice.

A true role model for LA County Supervisor Janice Hahn.

She says, “RBG for women was a hero. She changed the landscape of America for women. She was small but mighty. She joined the legal profession when she was not welcomed or wanted and for me, she just had that courage and determination.”

President Bill Clinton nominated Ginsburg to the highest court in 1993.
