Bringing Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day - and Ruby's inspiring story - to Maryland students. November 14, 2025: the 65th anniversary of Ruby's historic walk.
Maryland native Thurgood Marshall helped open doors and create opportunity for students all across the country. Our legislators walk past his statue every day as they enter the MD General Assembly - and can honor his legacy by passing Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day legislation.
OTD Nov 14, 1960, a court order mandating the desegregation of schools went into effect in New Orleans, Louisiana. We remember the bravery of Ruby Bridges and her family. She paved the way for me to do the same in my TN hometown. I wrote about it. advocacya.substack.com/p/we-walk-thro…
Special thanks to Delegate Diana Fennell, lead sponsor of HB493 Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day legislation last legislative session. Now we need advocates to join the effort to honor Ruby Bridges, improve school pedestrian safety, and send a clear message that #MDWalksForRuby.
