Happy 72nd birthday to Ruby Bridges! In 1960, she became the first Black American to attend a white elementary school in the South.

A visual reminder of what she faced every day.

—In 1960, Ruby Bridges became the first Black American to attend a white elementary school in the South. As soon as Bridges entered the school, white parents pulled their own children out; all teachers refused to teach while a black child was enrolled.

Only one person agreed to teach Ruby and that was Barbara Henry, from Boston, Massachusetts, and for over a year Mrs. Henry taught her alone, "as if she were teaching a whole class."

Every morning, as Bridges walked to school, one woman would threaten to poison her; because of this, the U.S. Marshals dispatched by President Eisenhower, who were overseeing her safety, only allowed Ruby to eat food that she brought from home.

Another woman at the school put a black baby doll in a wooden coffin and protested with it outside the school, a sight that Bridges said "scared me more than the nasty things people screamed at us."

At her mother's suggestion, Bridges began to pray on the way to school, which she found provided protection from the comments yelled at her on the daily walks

Happy birthday, Ruby Bridges! ✊🏾 Today, we honor her courageous act of being the first Black child to integrate an all-white school at only six years old.

BREAKING: Mayor Zohran Mamdani just released 170,000+ pages of long-hidden NYC 9/11 records, including the Harding Memo.

Additionally he launched a public portal. After 25 years of delays by prior administrations, he delivered the transparency first responders and survivors deserved. This is what accountability looks like.

MAMDANI is asked whether Rudy Giuliani lied about toxic air after 9/11 and should stay away from Friday’s memorial:

“The focus should be on the New Yorkers who were killed, their families, survivors and first responders. It should not be on politicians.”

“I leave it to New Yorkers to make their judgments. We are finally giving them the documents they have long demanded.”

They should actually be grateful that Beyoncé is paying homage especially in this current climate… the misery runs deep.

@___Taurean___ What if she has to be overly supportive of him because if she doesn’t old videos of her saying she doesn’t listen to country music after releasing “cowboy carter” starts resurfacing 🤔😩

@fbanwa9 I wonder if Beyonce is a DV victim lowkey. Selena’s manager murdered her and isn’t B’s manager Jay Z

Tufts University is TUITION-FREE for U.S. students from families earning under $150,000 a year.

Starting with students entering in fall 2026, eligible families with typical assets will pay $0 in tuition.

Families earning under $60,000 will typically get no-loan aid packages.
