The Public Schools of Brookline will celebrate the formal renaming of the Florida Ruffin Ridley School at 3:30 p.m. Feb. 26.
The event will be streamed online at http://brooklineinteractive.org/LIVE by the Brookline Interactive Group.
Due to the ongoing nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, only a small group will gather for the in-person ceremony at the school. The ceremony will feature remarks by those closely involved with the renaming process, including representatives of the student committee, town meeting members who filed the original petition and local historians who will share their research about the school’s namesake and about the history of slavery in Brookline that prompted the school renaming process.
