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

“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
