Kensington Elementary Students Hold Their Ruby Bridges Walk on November 13, Gathering at Arlington Community Church Before Walking to School
Kensington Elementary School's annual Ruby Bridges Walk took place on Friday, November 13, in Kensington, California, with the gathering moved into Arlington Community Church's social hall because of a rain forecast.
The schedule called for a 7:40 a.m. gathering, an 8:00 welcome, an 8:10 walk to the school and an 8:20 arrival, with students receiving a Certificate of Courage.
The church provided coffee, tea and hot chocolate, and the church stands at 52 Arlington Avenue in Kensington.
The walk began in response to racist vandalism at Kensington Elementary, with the invitation issued by the school's African American Parent Advisory Council.
Ruby Bridges was one of the first Black children to integrate an all-white elementary school, entering a school in New Orleans in 1960 in an episode that became a landmark of school desegregation in the United States.
