加州肯辛顿小学11月13日举行鲁比·布里奇斯步行活动：因预报降雨改在社区教堂礼堂集合后步行到校
加利福尼亚州肯辛顿小学的年度鲁比·布里奇斯步行活动于 11 月 13 日周五举行，因天气预报有雨，集合地点改在阿灵顿社区教堂礼堂。
活动安排为早上 7 时 40 分集合、8 时举行欢迎仪式、8 时 10 分出发步行前往学校、8 时 20 分抵达，学生将获发一张勇气证书。
教堂为参加者提供咖啡、茶与热巧克力，教堂地址为肯辛顿阿灵顿大道 52 号。
这项步行活动源于肯辛顿小学此前发生的种族主义涂鸦破坏事件，由该校非裔家长咨询委员会发出邀请。
鲁比·布里奇斯是美国最早进入全白人小学就读的黑人儿童之一，她 1960 年进入新奥尔良一所小学就读的经历成为美国学校废除种族隔离的标志性事件。
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.
