Still Within Reach
Remember, you can still speak
to your departed loved ones.
Love does not loosen its grip,
even when your whole world
has changed shape.
Confide in them,
in the hush between breaths,
in the tremble of your longing,
in the moments when challenges
feel too heavy to carry alone.

65 years ago today, 6-year-old Ruby Bridges walked through a wall of hate to integrate the all-white William Frantz Elementary in New Orleans—becoming the first Black child to do so in the South.
Surrounded by U.S. Marshals, she carried the weight of a nation on her small shoulders.
