Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day, Thursday November 14, 2024
On November 14, 1960, Ruby Bridges made history by becoming the first African American student to attend an all-white elementary school in the South. Her courage at just six years old helped pave the way for racial integration in schools.
Honor Ruby’s bravery by participating in Ruby Bridges Walk to school Day, November 14 by wearing white and walking to school.
Together, we can continue her legacy of equality and justice.
Let’s walk in unity and celebrate the power of courage!
