UPDATE: NC Supreme Court will remove the portrait of Thomas Ruffin which was first placed in the courtroom in 1888 as part of the southern redemption movement. This is welcome news. Thank you to everyone who worked to resolve this issue.

"Today our country lost a hero"

Ruby Bridges may be widely known as the brave Black child who desegregated an all-White school in the South, but it was her mom who put the decision in motion.

That champion for change — Lucille Bridges — has died at 86. https://t.co/rntY0RbyMo

Ruby Bridges was the first Black student at her New Orleans elementary school. Now, she's written a book to tell kids her story. https://t.co/kkegJhBFCo

Lucille Bridges, mother of civil rights activist Ruby Bridges, who walked with her then-6-year-old daughter past crowds screaming racist slurs as she became the first Black student at her all-white New Orleans elementary school, has died at the age of 86. https://t.co/uaxw4t4Xoe

This is a victory for democracy

[Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II @RevDrBarber]

This is more than a victory for Biden and Harris. This is a victory for democracy. When all the votes are counted, some 80 million Americans will have voted to end the Trumpism politics of lies, greed and the lust for power.

“The healing of this nation will come from the healing of the body & the healing of the body in America is going to come by saying to the 140 million poor & low-wealth people, you no longer will be excluded from the decisions in this country.” @RevDrBarber #PoorPeoplesCampaign

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

A nation united.

A nation strengthened.

A nation healed.

The United States of America.

While I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last—because every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities.

[Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II @RevDrBarber]

Biden is acting presidential. Trump is acting foolish.
