From MLK to RBG: using the Barclays Center oculus for civic purposes

From the New York Times, 9/20/20, The Nation Lost a Titan. Brooklyn Lost a Native Daughter.
At the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, the display board posted her encouragement: ā€œFight for the things that you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you.ā€
From a Chicago Tribune Commentary: Ruth Bader Ginsburg practiced anti-cancel culture, 9/21/20, by Jonathan Zimmerman:
In 2015, at a Harvard University luncheon held in her honor, Ruth Bader Ginsburg was asked what advice she would give young women today. ā€œFight for things you care about,ā€ Ginsburg replied, ā€œbut do it in a way that will lead others to join you.ā€

The quote appeared in full over the weekend on the display board of the Barclays Center, in the heart of Ginsburgā€™s native Brooklyn, New York, following her death on Friday. But if you go onto the internet to explore the endless array of RBG-themed tchotchkes ā€” mugs, T-shirts and even face masks ā€” youā€™ll find that many of them omit the second part of her comment. All we need to do, apparently, is fight for what we believe in. Getting others aboard isnā€™t as important.
A switch for the oculus 
Note the comment from NetsDaily. Indeed, the belated switch of the oculus, during the June protests, from rotating corporate ads to a quote from Martin Luther King, represented a recognition that the discordance needed to be remedied. 

(ā€œWouldnā€™t it be great,ā€ said SHoP's Gregg Pasquarelli when the new arena design was unveiled in 2010, ā€œto have to have a live digital feed of Prospect Park on the inside of the oculus?ā€)

As to honoring Ruth Bader Ginsburg, beloved likely by a large majority of Brooklynites, it was a wise move by the Barclays Center operators.
