This is Your Time

This Is Your Time, written by civil rights icon Ruby Bridges, is a powerful letter calling for action and inspiring readers. As a child, Ruby was the first black student to integrate into an all-white school in New Orleans, escorted by federal marshals. This elegant gift book recounts her experiences and appeals to future generations to effect change. Featuring historical and contemporary photographs, and jacket art from Norman Rockwell's painting, Ruby’s words remind us that inspiration for the future often lies in our past. The book is uplifting, especially following Kamala Harris's historic election as the US vice president.
