We are deeply grateful to everyone who joined us for this meaningful milestone. The energy in the room was a powerful reminder of what’s possible when faith and community come together with purpose.
As Dr. Semaj Vanzant, Director of the Faith Action Center shared, "every person of faith has a place in action", that spirit was felt throughout the day, and we’re excited to carry this momentum forward-together-toward meaningful, lasting change for communities across New Jersey.

Happy 70th Birthday to Ruby Bridges!

In November 1960, 6-year-old Ruby became the first Black child to attend an all white elementary school in the South. On the first day of school, Ruby and her mother waited all day in the principal's office, without anyone speaking one word to them. By the second day, white parents had removed their children from the school and Ruby became the only student in her class for an entire year 🙄

Young Ruby faced a crowd of white angry citizens everyday, but her courage and silent strength helped her return to school each day. Eventually, a few students started coming back to school and spent some of their school day in class with Ruby.

Reflecting back, Ruby said, “They didn’t see a child. They saw change, and what they thought was being taken from them. They never saw a child.”

Ms. Ruby Bridges, thank you for sharing your story with future generations and dedicating your life to our children's success in the classroom. Happy Birthday!
