FROM THE LIBRARY
Ruby Bridges was born in 1954 at the age of 6. She was the first African-American child to study in a mixed school with whites.
This child suffered a lot on the first day he started school, the federal government in the United States decided to kill him every time he walked against white adults and children who showed a clear intention to harm the child.
The whites stood on the side of the road calling the baby Ruby 'NIGGER' and threatening to kill her. They even managed to make a coffin with a black doll inside. The act Ruby recounts gave her nightmares.
due to that pressure, all the teachers left their jobs in the case of Ruby, only one defect (in the picture) who agreed to stay to help her (all Europeans are not bad).
The whole year Ruby went to class alone even the white children went on strike to go to school to study with a black person
When Ruby was at school, she did not eat any food for fear of being poisoned. But Ruby studied even though it was hard to remember that the United States started a policy of providing education without racial discrimination (mixed) in 1956 but still blacks mixed with whites studied very hard.
Today, Ruby is than 65 years old and is a human rights activist.
