Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg speaking at an event in D.C. Martha Stewart will be the only woman in a group of five to receive the newly expanded leadership award named after late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, joining the likes of Sylvester Stallone and Elon Musk during a ceremony in D.C. in April, the Dwight D. Opperman Foundation told 7News.
Officials from the Dwight D. Opperman Foundation said the five nominees were picked for their path-breaking innovation in five award categories: Entrepreneurship, Cultural Icon, Industry Leadership, Philanthropy, and Media Mogul. They will be honored at an event in the Library of Congress on April 13.
Stewart will receive the Industry Leadership Award related to her work as a retail mogul, becoming a household name nationally for all things daily living. Ginsburg reportedly requested that Stewart be on the Opperman Foundation's selection committee in the past. "I am sincerely honored to be the RBG Award's first Cultural Icon recipient," Stallone said in a statement. "At the end of the day, it is truly humbling to know that when you completely empty yourself for your art, it is not only well received but transformational for so many people all over the world."
