Hi, my name is Jeanette Moy and I'm the
Commissioner of the Office of General Services. Hi, my name is Bevin Collins and I'm the Capitol
architect with the Office of General Services. Today we had a rehearsal of the first new portrait
carving that we've added to the Great Western stairs since it was finished in the late 1800s.
It's Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and we're really excited. It is probably one of the most incredible
things to be a part of this moment in history and be standing next to Bevin, the first woman to be
Capitol architect in the state and we've had that position since the 1800s and especially
for me also as the first woman of color to lead OGS. So to be a part of this moment, I'm bringing
her up where you can see the light shining the roof, from the ceilings, from the windows, it's
beautiful, it's inspiring, it's something that we're so happy to share with not just the
employees and the legislators but certainly the visitors and the children and the students
who are going to be inspired by seeing her up on these walls. It is a great memorial, a great memory
of her and to recognize the women in our state.
