PHN Morning Announcements - February 15, 2022
February is Black History Month!
Ruby Bridges probably had no idea that the bold act she committed in 1960 would set off a chain reaction leading to the integration of schools in the South.
She was just six years old when she became the first African American student to attend William Frantz Elementary in Louisiana at the height of desegregation.
She is now the chair of the Ruby Bridges Foundation, which was formed in 1999 to promote "the values of tolerance, respect, and appreciation of all differences."
We will conclude with a quote by Ruby Bridges, “Don't follow the path. Go where there is no path and begin the trail. When you start a new trail equipped with courage, strength and conviction, the only thing that can stop you is you”.
On behalf of embRACE club, Happy Black History Month. If you are interested in learning more about embRACE club, please contact Lacey Mayes of Mr. Mannlein.
