Ruby Bridges' first walk was historic. Her first-grade year in a class of one also deserves remembering.

When I see #RubyBridges is 72 today I realize that she is 12 years younger than my (estranged) mother. My parents’ deep racism suddenly recontextualized from a disgraceful anachronistic anomaly, to the sad reality that the people of “that time” are still in THIS time voting and making decisions.

Happy Birthday #RubyBridges!
Happy 72nd Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools.

She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama.

The past isn’t past.
