Join WE ARE and @bookharvestnc as we celebrate Ruby Bridges Literary Day, a community gathering rooted in literacy for liberation, truth-telling, and the courage of children to change the world.

This event will take place Saturday, September 12, 10-11:30 am in the Family Space at Book Harvest. 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. Ruby Bridges’ story reminds us that young people have always been at the center of movements for justice. As an organization, we honor her birthday each year as a day of reflection and rest. We invite community members to join us as we celebrate the power of stories to help us imagine and build a more just world together.
