Designates November 14 of each year as Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day.
SJR 109 designates November 14 of each year as "Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day" in New Jersey. This commemorative resolution honors Ruby Bridges, who, on November 14, 1960, became the first Black child to integrate an all-white Louisiana elementary school despite facing violent protests and isolation. The resolution requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging schools and communities to observe the day with educational programs celebrating Bridges' courage and her role in advancing school desegregation.
