Bridges and the McDonogh Three are collectively known as the New Orleans Four.

Did some research into this. Turns out the theme of this fashion walk was Black Historical Excellence. Several legends were featured, including #RubyBridges, the child at the center of desegregation movement, was also featured. Please note. Ruby Bridges is 71 years old; 7 years younger than MY OWN MOTHER. It wasn’t long ago. It’s actually still happening.

This is going to be the best thing to happen in the last week. lol. I feel like @Jaden3 should see this. 💜

Ruby, I was about 12 or 13, attending a segregated school in Tennessee. I was a "service brat" having lived most of my life on Marine bases in Ca, oblivious to what jim crow was. The pictures of you with USMarshall escort, people screaming and spitting at you was a huge awakening for me. Please know that your bravery impacted at least this one life for the better. Happy birthday, ma'am!
