Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day/Wear Purple

Six year old Ruby Bridges stepped into the history books in 1960 when she integrated William Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans, becoming a national icon for the civil rights movement. Today her story continues to inspire the next generation of leaders to end racism together one step at a time.

To honor and commemorate Ruby Bridges day we ask that everyone wear purple and walk to school! We look forward to seeing a “sea of purple” on November 14th.
