RUBY BRIDGES - Tumblr Posts

#OTD in 1960: Ruby Bridges became the first Black child to attend William J. Frantz Elementary School after a court order mandated the desegregation of schools in New Orleans, Louisiana.

At just six years old, Ruby and her story became a symbol of the civil rights movement 🤎

Fun fact:

Both U.S. presidential candidates are about 10 years older than the first black student (Ruby Bridges) to integrate all-white schools in the Jim Crow South of Louisiana (1960)

She was 6 years old.

Let that sink in.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS, makingdonalddrumpfagain !
