@__Sophia_Miller I was a geology major in the 80s, and visited erratic rock several times in the past. Dana was very interested in geo, and we came back from the coast so it was a short side trip. Willamette meteorite is in NMNH in NYC, one of my fave exhibits.
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.
