This workshop is aimed at preschool and primary school age children for them to celebrate and learn about black history in a fun filled way.
It focuses on the story of Ruby Bridges, who was the first black student to attend an all white public school in the southern United States.
Children will earn about how Ruby’s journey started and how she transformed in to a civil rights leader at a very young age and will carry out an activity that allows them to explore their imagination in a creative way.
Not only will they explore a part of black history but they will learn about a story that reflects on bravery and breaking down barriers.
So come and take part in this new and exciting workshop and let’s see how Ruby’s courage inspires you!
'The children have not stopped talking about going to the Museum. They carried on the converastion about Black
History month with their parents.'
