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 still see echoes of Emmett’s story and blatant racial injustice and as park advocates we are committed to doing our part to fight it. Black Lives Matter. They matter in our homes, in our cities, and yes, in our national parks.” -@theresapierno https://t.co/gXsf65QsmU
“The tragedy of Emmett’s lynching and the courage and determination of his mother [Mamie] to seek justice for her murdered son were the catalysts that helped launch the modern civil rights movement in this country," -NPCA's Alan Spears on a #ParkForTill https://t.co/BbOOp7dXPO
