On November 14, 1960, six-year-old Ruby Bridges became the first Black student to integrate at her elementary school in New Orleans. Her courageous act of showing up to school each day played an important role in the civil rights movement. Several of our schools will be honoring this important event by recreating this walk.
Join us in honoring Ruby Bridges by teaching children about her story or taking a mindful walk while reflecting on Ruby's courage. Learn more about Ruby and how to celebrate her role in the civil rights movement atwww.smcoe.org/rubybridges.
