At a 2013 TCA panel for the PBS special "The African Americans - Many Rivers to Cross with Henry Louis Gates Jr., Ruby Bridges talked about learning years later that she was the little girl depicted in the 1964 Norman Rockwell painting, The Problem We All Live With. The iconic artwork shows a 6-year-old Bridges on November 14, 1960, being escorted by federal marshals to William Frantz Elementary School, an all-white public school in New Orleans.

My work will be precious.

I will bridge the "gap" between Black & white...

...and hopefully all people!

I suppose some things in life are just meant to be.

When Ruby Bridges was six years old, she became the first Black child to integrate the all-white William Frantz Elementary in Louisiana. Based on the pivotal events that happened in 1960 and told from her point of view, this is a poetic reflection on her experience that changed the face of history and the trajectory of the Civil Rights movement.

I Am Ruby Bridges offers hope and confidence to all children. It is the perfect learning tool for schools and libraries to teach the story of Ruby Bridges and introduce this landmark story to young readers in a powerful new way. This story of innocence and courage is brought to life by NAACP-nominated artist, Nikkolas Smith through stunning and breath-taking illustrations. Embracing the meaning of her name, Bridges reflects with poignancy and heart on the way one brave little girl stood proud to help build a bridge between all people and pave the path for future generations.

Many of us were handed an Easter story that begins with separation:
You’re a sinner. God is angry. Blood must be spilled before you can be loved.

But… what if that’s not the real story?

What if resurrection isn’t about blood payment—but about re-membering what we’ve forgotten?
That nothing can separate you from the love of God.
That you’ve always belonged. You’ve always been beloved.

Resurrection invites us to reconnect—to our God-created selves, to one another, to the earth, to the cosmos.
To piece back together what’s been fragmented.
To rise.

Resurrection as Re-Membering

de s’achever, la classe a effectué les recherches, l’écriture et la mise en ondes de ce récit historique.
En 1960, la ségrégation scolaire est interdite aux Etats-Unis. Ruby Bridges a 6 ans et s’apprête à faire sa
rentrée, seule élève noire dans une école jusque-là réservée aux blancs.
