Bigelow is excited to welcome back Ruby Bridges for an engaging virtual presentation on April 14, 2022 at 12:30pm. Ruby Bridges is living history. She was the first African American child to enter the newly desegregated New Orleans school system in 1960. During Ruby’s program, 8th graders will have an interactive discussion with Ruby about the civil rights movement in the 1960’s as well as her ongoing commitment to the idea that if all of our children refuse to allow hatred and racism to be passed down to them, social justice for all will be the outcome. 

This program is made possible by Creative Arts & Sciences and the Bigelow PTO.
