Ruby Bridges then and now.
This is Your Time
In real life, Bridges survived the hard first year at school and went on to a career as a travel agent that took her around the world. For the last 25 years, she has worked with children across the country carrying a message of anti-racism and inclusion. And so it was bittersweet that on Nov. 10, the day Bridges’ latest book, “This Is Your Time” was scheduled for release, her mother passed away.
“This Is Your Time” is a message to children, born of the pain Bridges felt after George Floyd’s killing, but also of the hope she felt seeing so many young people take to the streets in protests around the world.
