The singer, 27, has been lending her account – the sixth most-followed on the social media platform – to prominent Black activists amid protests over the death of George Floyd in police custody. The latest to take overfor the day? Ruby Bridges, who made history in 1960 as the first African-American student to desegregate an elementary school in the South.
"I just want to take a moment to thank Selena for this amazing opportunity to speak to you directly," Bridges, 65, says in a video posted to Gomez's account."The footage that I want to share with you today has not been shown before now. It is footage from 1960, the day that I entered first grade here in New Orleans.
"It will help you to understand why I think we Black and brown sisters and brothers need to stand united in this fight to save Black and brown lives. I want you to remember that it is all of our shared history. This is your legacy, too."
