Edith Windsor, who received a JHU honorary degree in 2014 and who died in 2017, played a pivotal role in the fight for marriage equality in the U.S. "We hope [this portrait] captures for posterity all that Edie embodied—the affirmation of our shared dignity and core humanity, a celebration of love in all its myriad forms, the bravery to advocate without equivocation for the civil rights of others. And, of course, joy—pure joy," JHU President Ron Daniels said at Monday's unveiling.
