Today we celebrate Ruby Bridges. At only 6 years old, she was the first African-American child to desegregate an all-white elementary school in New Orleans, Louisiana in 1960. Currently, Bridges tours the country as a civil rights activist and author. She is sharing her experience with a new generation of kids in her latest children’s book, I Am Ruby Bridges.
