There is something deeply moving and important in this interview more so than the usual interviews. You could hear a pin drop as she spoke. Beautiful, powerful woman.

ReplyYet historic revisionists would love to make us believe this was so long ago. And they try to trick us with black and white only pics as if we didn’t have color?
ReplyRacism is a grownup disease. Reminds me of the song in South Pacific.You’ve got to be taught to learn to hate.
ReplyCan everyone appreciate the timeline here? In your lifetime? This isn’t ancient history. History has a way of repeating esp when the lessons aren’t learned or they’re conveniently forgotten for political gain. We haven’t learned our lessons from 60yr ago much less 150yrs ago. This country is on a very slippery slope. The a$$holes of ignorance can’t win this battle for the soul of the nation. Unfortunately, ignorance & hatred have proven to be a very profitable [election] platform. MS, the poorest state in the US w/the highest childhood obesity rates, refusing millions in federal school lunch money, state employees stealing welfare funds for a rich man’s daughter’s volleyball arena and a gravesite of 150+ inmates found behind a county jail. Do better Mississippi.
ReplyLove that Lady 🙂 x
ReplyWhat an amazing woman… such a gentle, thoughtful soul. She’s the calm in the centre of the storm.
ReplyRuby is a beautiful woman,she is right on the dot,racism is a grown up disease don’t use our children to get infected with it ,children are born to love , we shouldn’t teach them how to hate and poison their little minds !
ReplyMs. Ruby Bridges is a complete national treasure, and we are lucky to have her LIVE testimony TODAY. This is not history, this is our lifetime.
ReplyAmazing interview! She was just going to school… now kids are faced with mass shootings and forced to give birth if they are molested at the early age 12-14…. yes… kids are not the same as she felt. The only question is, why? I say vote every GOP out of office and at every level. #VeteransAgainstGOP
Reply“Don’t know your past. Don’t know your future “. Thank you Ruby from the bottom of my heart 💙
Reply“Racism is a grown-up disease. Let’s stop using our kids to spread it.” – Ruby Bridges. No words, so truer spoken. ❤
ReplyWhat a beautiful interview! ❤
ReplyI know of the story, but did not know Ruby’s name (I live on the other side of the world 😅). What a magnificent human! But the most shocking thing about all this is how young she still is. I was was expecting someone much older (and to be honest, more jaded too)
ReplyThe fact that she didn’t know what was happening around her, and the hate that people had for her… that incredible juxtaposition makes me so fucking sad for us all. We haven’t done enough to change this thing about ourselves.
ReplyWhat a living legend!! I didn’t even know that she was still here, still teaching our children in person. And she looks amazing for 69!
ReplyAnd Nikki Haley said American wasn’t racist and DeSantis good books lots of books band in Florida and tried to erase black history, my question is how do people trust these politicians? I knew about this but not in so much details. SHAME ON POLITICIANS
ReplyYou’re a gentleman, Mr. Colbert. Thank you for your bravery, Ms. Bridges. Because of you some hearts and minds have been changed. Thank you. ❤️
Replygreat interview. it just didnt go long enough
ReplyI love the idea of treating the banned list as a purchasing. There’s some hella good writing on that list, you could do worse than shake an education around that list 🤣
