Today we honour the little braveheart Ruby Bridges and shine light on a true hero in this monumental stand off in this divisive era of segregation vs. integration.
Every morning Ruby Bridges faced a very angry and violent mob of white people as she was escorted inside the all-white school, William Frantz Elementary by U.S. Marshalls in the early 1960’s.
We celebrate the courage and determination it took to overcome fear and a racist environment to breakthrough the wall of educational segregation.
I truly believe the “multicultural” Millenials will be the generation to be actively involved in social change, progress towards fairness and the fight for equality of all people which will effectively create change for future generations.
