Salem-Keizer Celebrated Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day!
Oregon Safe Routes to School saw an amazing turnout for Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day!
Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day (RBWTSD) honors the bravery of Ruby Bridges walking to Franz Elementary School as the first and only Black student in 1960. It is the perfect opportunity to teach children about the civil rights movement and make connections to today’s collective efforts for change. RBWTSD gives children the chance to celebrate Ruby’s courage by walking to school.
Here are some images from the Ruby Bridges Walk in Salem:
