From @berniceaking on Dead Bird:
Nov 14, 1960, 6yo #RubyBridges bravely walked into William Frantz Elementary School, the 1st Black student to integrate the school in New Orleans, Louisiana. Surrounded by federal marshals, Ruby faced immense hostility, yet her courage & resilience made her a powerful symbol in the fight for racial equality...helped pave the way for #integration & justice in #education...[E]ven the youngest among us can be powerful agents of change.
