Happy 72nd Birthday Ruby Bridges!

In observance of this day and to honor the work she has done and continues to do, the WE ARE office is closed. Join us this Saturday, September 12th at 10 am as we partner with @bookharvestnc to host Ruby Bridges Literary Day! Kwame Mbalia (@mbalia1), author of the Tristan Strong trilogy and Jax Freeman series, will engage us in a read-aloud, Q&A, and book signing. We will honor the legacy of #RubyBridges and the ongoing importance of creating culturally affirming learning spaces for children.
