Ruby Bridges was just six years old when she made waves in 1960 by becoming the first African American child to desegregate an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Can you imagine? Every morning, she strolled into school with federal marshals by her side, while angry crowds shouted at her. It's a wild scene that sounds like something out of a movie, but it was her reality! Her courage not only changed her life but also echoed through the civil rights movement, reminding us that even the littlest among us can stand tall against injustice. Join us as we dive into Ruby's powerful story and explore the impact her bravery had on education and equality in America.
