More quotes by Ruby Bridges
Each and every one of us is born with a clean heart. Our babies know nothing about hate or racism. But soon they begin to learn – and only from us. We keep racism alive. We pass it on to our children. We owe it to our children to help them keep their clean start.
Ruby Bridges
Don't follow the path. Go where there is no path and begin the trail. When you start a new trail equipped with courage, strength and conviction, the only thing that can stop you is you!
Ruby Bridges
My message is really that racism has no place in the hearts and minds of our children.
Ruby Bridges
Kids know nothing about racism. They're taught that by adults.
Ruby Bridges
