Senate Resolution No. by Senator Duplessis designates November 14, 2025, as "Ruby Bridges Day" in Louisiana to honor Ruby Bridges for her significant contributions to civil rights and racial equality. Ruby Bridges, who became the first African American child to integrate an all-white elementary school in the South at the age of six, faced immense adversity and hostility during her historic journey. Her courage and determination, alongside the sacrifices made by her family, symbolize the struggle for desegregation and the broader civil rights movement.

The resolution highlights Ruby Bridges' enduring legacy, which continues to inspire generations through her advocacy for tolerance and education, as well as her role in the Ruby Bridges Foundation. By designating a day in her honor, the resolution aims to promote reflection, education, and community engagement, reinforcing the commitment to ensuring equitable access to education for all children, regardless of their race or background.
