This is Ruby Bridges she is a civil rights activist, and the first black child to go to a white school she has an important part in history,
Ruby went to an all black kindergarten, Plessy vs Ferguson was a court that said black children and white children should be seperated but that all changed in 1954 when they decided to change the law
Ruby in first grade was given a test and she did very well in it, so they decided to send her to a school which was closer to her tho the closest one was an all white school. She was the first black american to attend there
when she was going to and from school the military had to escort her as white americans were shouting abuse at her
Mrs Henry was the only teacher who had willingly chose to teach ruby they bonded and grew a friend ship. They worked all year tho ruby never had any class mates but mrs henry changed that for her
the next year Rubys class was filled with kids with all different ethinicities and cultural differences
