Dearest #RubyBridges: Thank you. >>> 65 years ago today, 4 federal marshals escorted 6-year-old Ruby Bridges to her 1st day of school (1st grade), as the 1st Black student to attend previously all-white William Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans, Louisiana. And today, there are legislators and school districts seeking to ban teaching on Ruby Bridges under the guise of banning “wokeness.” We have to stand so that they don’t whitewash U.S. and world history.
