Hello Everyone!!

For next few weeks, we will study the biographies of famous African-Americans who had a transformational effect on the lives of others.  Your children will learn about the life of Ruby Bridges and study how her courage led to the integration of public schools.  I invite all of you to find stories of famous African-Americans that have inspired you!


Here are some links to videos about Ruby Bridges
