64 years ago today, six-year-old Ruby Bridges became the first Black student to attend an all-white elementary school in New Orleans, Louisiana. Her courage continues to inspire us as we fight to fulfill the promise of America.

Queer kids need to have access to books that value their existence. Queer kids need to have access to books that celebrate their lives. Queer kids need to know that these books exist. Banning books is not about books. Banning books is about the erasure of identities.

Thank you @EllenHopkinsLit for speaking to students today at @AlbertiLibrary. You write about real things that happen in the lives of young people…and it ain’t all sunshine and puppies! Your latest, Sync, is heartbreaking but beautiful. Keep soldiering on against book banning!

Eileen has my vote based on her experience and merits. Her opponent? A Moms 4 Liberty “I will tell you how best to raise your children” except all of a sudden “I’m not really with Ms4L anymore. Wink wink.” Definitely not.
