Скачать или смотреть How Did Ruby Bridges Change School In America Forever? | Black History Month

6-year-old Ruby Bridges advanced the cause of civil rights when she became the first African American student to integrate into an elementary school in the South in 1960. While some families supported her bravery—and some northerners sent money to aid her family—others protested throughout the city. The Bridges family suffered for their courage: her father lost his job, and grocery stores refused to sell to her mother. Over time, other African American students enrolled; many years later, Ruby’s four nieces would also attend. A lifelong activist for racial equality, Ruby established The Ruby Bridges Foundation to promote tolerance and create change through education.
