On International #EducationDay, I’m celebrating the perseverance of students and teachers around the world—including organizations in the @GirlsAlliance that are helping to keep girls learning safely during the pandemic.
After a year that has tested us in unimaginable ways, we've seen how people from all walks of life have stepped up to create change to make things better. Here's to ringing in 2021 with optimism for what's to come and a belief that our best days are still ahead. Happy New Year!

Today we mourn the loss of one of the mothers of the Civil Rights Movement in New Orleans with the passing of Lucille Bridges — mother of five, including Ruby Bridges, who as a first-grader in 1960 was one of six black children to integrate the all-white William Frantz School. pic.twitter.com/AMvcxsWbJu
Lucille Bridges, the mother of Ruby Bridges, who walked with her daughter past crowds screaming racist slurs as she became the first Black student at her all-white elementary school, has died at the age of 86. https://t.co/j7najsoDe3
Ms Bridges is an American heroine. Just imagine— what a tough and dangerous decision she made for her daughter, Ruby, all the little Black girls in New Orleans and across the nation to follow. And she lived long enough to see a Black woman become VP. RIP Lucille Bridges. https://t.co/TY5mtqaIjspic.twitter.com/VPiyFuSlTr
