A quick listen thanks to Libro.fm’s educator alc program. It is very special to get to hear the book read aloud by Ruby Bridges herself and the fact that she is still so young to be writing this story is a reminder that the social conditions she faced are really so recent in our nation’s history. Of course, she also reminds us of the imperative to continue the work, especially inspired by the young people that she meets, that we must break the cycle of teaching our children racism. It would be cool to also see the physical book with images since I am sure that also holds so much power. Probably a combo of the physical book with her audio reading would be the ultimate.
