Replyshe is a legend!!! thank you ruby!
ReplyI am a 78 year old woman. I was raised in a small mid-western town. When I started first grade, two black girls were in my class. It didn’t seam to bother any of us at the time. Probably because the black population was pretty small at that time. I still live in the same town, and the black population has grown some, but they are still in the minority. We also have a small American Indian population. I guess were are an example of the milting pot of America.
ReplyI love you Ruby! Thank you so much for all you have done, and continue to do! As an educator, your work was pivotal to my career and success. Thank you ma’am!
ReplyLow key she looks like Regina King
ReplyIt took me some time to realize that segregated schools are still very common. It’s just okay now because it’s the neighborhood school. I didn’t experience any diversity until high school and it was eye opening to go from 95% Hispanic to a very diverse classroom. We still have a long way to go.
Replyawesome interview, thank you Ms. Bridges

ReplyMiss Ruby Bribges should be claimed as an, “American treasure.” Miss Bridges and her first teacher, are true American heroes.
ReplyIt’s sad to see that schools are still segregated after 60 years. There should be a mandate for this to stop happening…along with all kids exposed the same curriculum, blacks and whites.
ReplyThe 1619 Project expressed this a lot…check it out.
*clap clap clap*
ReplyI met her when she came to my college in 1996. A highlight of my life. She breathes love into life.
ReplyThis is a garbage conversation because Native black Americans have been put on the bottom of America from the beginning and none of your conversation deals with that issue! This conversation is a colossal waste of time and energy!
ReplyAre Americans becoming aware of the possible reason Trump refuses to concede, the way even a losing POTUS can take advantage of an unaddressed loophole in the constitution to retain power, against the will of the voting public? This video was made 2 weeks BEFORE the elections but the accuracy of its prediction to this point is frightening. Hope ppl do what is necessary to protect not only US interests but those of others who also be affected.
