I guess we still haven’t decided to just care about each other. She was just a little girl, #RubyBridges. He is just a little boy. @Darlyn215
There should have been at least 1 caring, decent mother in that crowd who would go over to help her. Every time I see that photo, I wonder why no one cared. Have we finally grown up and stopped meanness to each other?
@allenanalysis Tell your children about Ruby Bridges, the first Black child to integrate an all-White public elementary school in Louisiana when she was just 6 years old. #RubyBridges is still alive and is only 71 years old. Yes, just 71, and racism still exists. She was a brave little girl.
The BRAVEST little girl in America! #RubyBridges
Ruby Bridges was SIX years old.
Six.
And the President of the United States had to send federal marshals to escort a little Black girl into an elementary school because racist mobs were screaming they didn’t want integration.
People waved Confederate flags. Adults screamed at a child.
Parents pulled white kids out of school just because she walked through the door.
That is not ancient history. That happened in America within a lifetime. Ruby Bridges said she didn’t even know what the word “integrate” meant.
She was just trying to go to school.
🚨 DAMN.
Ruby Bridges said the moment she finally understood what was happening during school integration was when a little white boy told her:
“My mom said I can’t play with you because you’re a nigger.”
She was SIX.
And she said hearing that felt like “a huge weight lifted,” because suddenly everything made sense.
Why the classrooms were empty.
Why adults were screaming.
Why U.S. Marshals had to escort her to school.
Not because of anything she did.
Just because of the color of her skin.
A six-year-old child realizing an entire country was angry at her for existing.
This still breaks my heart. The video of her climbing those big steps, all dressed up for first day at school. Those grown ups acting like gangsters. #RubyBridges
@allenanalysis @GrandmaShark18 She said the first time she came she thought it was something like the Mardi Gra celebrations. She had no idea they were there for her.
Ruby Bridges now get to see the Democratic Party switch on black people, taking our homes & properties. Especially in Chicago & New York to give to Illegal Immigrants!!…. Hidden Slavery. They are attacking #BlackPeople in 2026 all over again. Thank you #RubyBridges 💅🏾😉

Ruby Bridges became a symbol of the American civil rights movement in 1960 when, at six years old, she integrated the formerly all-white William Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans, Louisiana.

She is a little girl going for her first day at school. It required U.S. Marshalls to protect her. #NeverAgain #RubyBridges @weeknightmsnow
Colonizer decedents (today's "anti-woke" idiots) hurl insults at 6 year-old #RubyBridges as she enters a traditionally all-white school, the first black child to do so in the United States South, 1960.
History reminds us that "anti-woke" people are the bottom of the barrel people, and that they HATE Black people MORE THAN they love America (STILL TODAY IN 2026)
#WhiteVIOLENCE #HATECRIME
Had the honor of speaking with a very historical figure from my hometown. #LeonaTate was one of the #FOUR students who integrated the #NewOrleans public school system with #RubyBridges in 1960. Looking forward to working with her organization.
Ruby Bridges made history at just 6, becoming the first Black child to integrate an all-White Southern elementary school. Despite racism and protests, she showed courage daily—and continues inspiring equality through her work today.
