#OnThisDay, 14 Nov 1960, Ruby Bridges goes to school.
She is the first African-American child to attend the all-white William Frantz school in Louisiana, USA. It is a symbolic act, breaking the segregation of education in the state.
Her 2022 autobiographical picture book, I Am Ruby Bridges, is in Scholastic’s ‘diverse’ collection, meaning school librarians can opt out of including them in school book fairs.
