On November 14, 1960, flanked by four federal marshals, 6-year-old Ruby Bridges crossed the threshold of William Frantz Elementary School in Louisiana to become one of the first Black children to attend a desegregated school in the South. That was 60 years ago today.

History says, Don't hope
On this side of the grave,
But then, once in a lifetime
The longed-for tidal wave
Of justice can rise up
And hope and history rhyme.

"What about my own experiences of racism didn’t break through to them? If they’re suddenly so desperate to understand the Black perspective on race in America, why haven’t they just come out and asked? Haven’t I been here this whole time?"

Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.

“What defines us as human beings is our sense of privacy, & while we are social beings, & political beings, & therefore public beings—whether we like it or not—there is a very viable, very valid core in the human personality which keeps certain things to itself.” —Wole Soyinka
