On November 14, 1960, 6-year-old #RubyBridges bravely walked into William Frantz Elementary School, becoming the first Black student to integrate the school in New Orleans, Louisiana. Surrounded by federal marshals, Ruby faced immense hostility, yet her courage and resilience made her a powerful symbol in the fight for racial equality.

Today, we honor Ruby Bridges’ strength and the incredible impact of her bravery, which helped pave the way for integration and justice in education. Her story reminds us that even the youngest among us can be powerful agents of change.

[Kimberlé Crenshaw @sandylocks]

For us to see lasting change, our anti-racism efforts must be intersectional, so right now, it’s even more important for us to strengthen our movement.

[Kimberlé Crenshaw @sandylocks]

CRT illuminates how racial inequality has persisted and grown in the US because of our failure to confront and fix the racism still embedded in our laws, policies and institutions — like asbestos left in the walls of a building.

[Kimberlé Crenshaw @sandylocks]

If you want to understand misogynoir, the attacks on VP Harris and the weaponization of color blindness to maintain inequality, you have to understand attacks on Critical Race Theory (CRT).

[Kimberlé Crenshaw @sandylocks]

Isolated, these incidents might seem like unfortunate setbacks, but together, they form a clear pattern of systemic racism and sexism that undermines Black women’s contributions and leadership in our country, and obscures a clear path to justice for all of our communities.

[Kimberlé Crenshaw @sandylocks]

And while Black women are the first ones on the frontlines of advocacy and organizing, like #WinWithBlackWomen did for VP Harris, we are all too often the last ones protected.

[Kimberlé Crenshaw @sandylocks]

This is a direct consequence of a lack of understanding and failure to prioritize an intersectional framework on issues that directly impact our communities, such as police violence against Black women. We have to #SayHerName because of public silence.

first words Sonya Massey said at her front door were “don’t hurt me”

she was told “why would we hurt you, you called us”

when have those words meant anything when your black and woman in this country

when do those words protect you from not being murdered in your kitchen, in your bedroom, with your babies, or on your lawn

what is “reassurance”, in this place ?

rest in power Sonya Massey, and an abundance of love and power to Sonya’s family on this journey

[Ayanna Pressley @AyannaPressley]

Sonya Massey should be alive today.

Instead, she was shot in the head and killed by police after calling them for help.

We must have accountability for Sonya's family.

And we must legislate to build a world where Black folks can grow old, with safety and dignity.

[Vice President Kamala Harris Archived @VP46Archive]

Sonya Massey deserved to be safe.

The disturbing footage released yesterday confirms what we know from the lived experiences of so many — we have much work to do to ensure that our justice system fully lives up to its name.

President Biden and I call on Congress to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, a bill that I coauthored in the Senate. We must come together to achieve meaningful reforms that advance the safety of all communities.

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

Sonya Massey was somebody. She was treated like nothing by the officers who shot her after she called them for help.

Sonya should still be alive today.

We say ‘Black lives matter’ because it’s clear that to many, our lives don’t matter.

Sonya mattered. We matter.

[Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones]

Democracy in crisis is more important than poll numbers. We seem unable, even now, to shift news coverage consistently towards the unprecedented unrolling of democratic and constitutional norms and the impending cataclysm. We should be listening not to pundits but to scholars of authoritarianism, historians, journalists from other countries that have seen democracy erode. We must shed the hubris that tells us we know how to cover this because we’ve covered politics before, and the belief that we must maintain old norms even in the face of an unparalleled moment in US history. Otherwise, we are not journalists but accomplices. The winners and losers here are not Democrats or Republicans, but democracy itself.
