63 years ago today, 6-year-old #RubyBridges integrated William Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Many, including white moderates, believed that she was “out of order.”
Thank you to Ruby Bridges and her family for being “out of order.”
We officially have PEN PALS 😍✏️ We teamed up with my mom’s fifth grade class at @CarolinaFriends and received our first letters today. Here’s to the start of a fun friendship!✨
