Fun fact: Ruby Bridges has an Instagram account. This is both a reality of the period, as well as cause for whiplash. Back in 1960, Bridges made history at just 6 years old as the first Black child to attend Louisiana’s erstwhile whites-only William Frantz Elementary School. Today, she’s another public figure on social media. Nothing about this is unique, because to have an Instagram account is to exist in the digital age. It is, however, fundamentally tragic.
