What a beautiful way to begin a new tradition!

💚📚 We are incredibly grateful to Kwame Mbalia for joining us for our 1st Annual Ruby Bridges Literary Day and sharing his time, stories, and wisdom with our young people and families. Thank you, @mbalia1 , for helping us honor Ruby Bridges’ legacy and for continuing that legacy through storytelling that affirms & inspires young people. A special thank you to @bookharvestnc for partnering with WE ARE to bring this vision to life. We are grateful for partners who believe, as we do, in the power of literacy, truth-telling, and books to help children imagine & create a more just world. And to every family and young person who showed up, listened, asked questions, and celebrated with us: thank you. You made the day special. Here’s to the first of many! 📚✊🏾 #RubyBridgesLiteraryDay #LiteracyForLiberation #YouthLiteracy #weare #antiracisteducators
