Don’t follow the path. Go where there is no path and begin the trail.  –Ruby Bridges

Join us in celebrating the brave life of Ruby Bridges! Learn how Ruby stood up for her rights and blazed a trail during the New Orleans school desegregation crisis. Plus, craft your own school satchel similar to the one Ruby carried in 1960.

Did you know…? At the tender age of six, Ruby Bridges advanced the cause of civil rights when she became the first African-American student to desegregate an all-white school on November 14, 1960.  Learn more >>

For children of all ages & their families. Just drop in!
