Ruby! The Story of Ruby Bridges

Just forty-five years ago, six-year-old Ruby Bridges became the first African-American child allowed to attend an all-white elementary school. That’s within the lifetimes of half the people in this country. In other words, Ruby Bridges is no forgotten piece of history; she’s alive and well and still working to eliminate racism on behalf of children. Her story makes an inspiring play, and the issues it raises are still all too unfortunately contemporary. Weyerhaeuser Auditorium at Landmark Center, 75 W. Fifth St., St. Paul; 651-225-9265
