The show, which was originally organized by the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles, is scheduled to run until January 23, 2022 and then travel to Houston and Washington.
Ginsburg, who died at the age of 87, was born in 1933 in Brooklyn, New York. She is still very much revered by many in her hometown.
