Presentation of TC Medal to Ruby Bridges
On May 17, 1954, the United States Supreme Court announced its decision that “separate educational facilities are inherently unequal.” The decision effectively denied the legal basis for segregation in Kansas and 20 other states with segregated classrooms and would forever change race relations in the United States. In November of 1960, six-year-old Ruby Bridges became the first African-American student to desegregate a formerly all-white elementary school in New Orleans. In honor of this historic event and the 50th Anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education, TC will be conferring its highest honor, the TC Medal, to Ruby Bridges.
