| SB450 | Relating to Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day; and declaring an emergency. | AN ACT Relating to Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day; and declaring an emergency. Whereas Ruby Nell Bridges was born to Abon and Lucille Bridges on September 8, 1954, in Tylertown, Mississippi; and Whereas Ruby was born in the immediate wake of Brown v. Board of Education, which ruled on May 17, 1954, that racial segregation in school was unconstitutional; and Whereas the southern states were vehemently opposed to integration, and when Ruby’s family relocated to New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1959, she attended a segregated kindergarten; and Whereas in 1960, Ruby was one of six Black children in Louisiana to pass a test to determine whether they could attend the previously all-white William Frantz Elementary School, and ulti- mately she was the only Black child who chose to attend the school that year; and Whereas Ruby made history on November 14, 1960, when she walked to William Frantz Ele- mentary School flanked by four deputy U.S. marshals, the first Black child in the south to attend a previously all-white school; and Whereas Ruby’s brave walk that day was immortalized by Norman Rockwell in his iconic 1964 painting, The Problem We All Live With; and Whereas though Ruby’s life as a student continued to be fraught with blatant racism and threats of violence, she never missed a single day of school; and Whereas Ruby Bridges has been a tireless advocate for change throughout her life, and through the Ruby Bridges Foundation, speaking engagements and her series of children’s books, she contin- ues to strive for an end to racism; and Whereas the United States education system has progressed immensely from that November day 65 years ago, but racism still plagues the school experience for students in Oregon and throughout the United States; and Whereas Salem-Keizer Safe Routes to School honors the impact Ruby Bridges has had on the United States education system through its participation in Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day, a nationwide day of dialogue for students, families, school staff and community members to confront racism and bullying head on; now, therefore, | Signed/Enacted/Adopted |
