This past Saturday, Artist in Residence Lionel Milton (Lionel Milton) hosted a Ruby Bridges Art Workshop at the Main Library Branch!

Participants learned about Ruby Bridges’ history and legacy while exploring their own creativity through paint markers, colored-pencils, and crayons. Families also received library book recommendations to help continue the conversation and learning at home.

Events like this bring together history, art, and literacy. They’re made possible by YOUR support! Proceeds from Foundation book sales help fund programs that educate and inspire New Orleans children in both the arts and beyond. Our next Big Book Sale is THIS MONTH October 24th @ Latter Memorial Library. We hope to see you there!

Thank you for helping us make programs like this possible.
