Ms Ruby Bridges is 72 years old. she and her history of desegregation are part of YOUR lifetime.
14 November, 1960 - six year old Ruby Bridges became the first Black student to integrate William Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans, Louisiana. Her path was met with hostility and hatred, yet she continued forward with courage and determination.
Ruby’s story reminds us that the pursuit of justice has never been limited by age. Her bravery helped open doors for generations of children who deserved the opportunity to learn without the barriers of segregation. - The King Center
