What do you remember about Ruby Bridges?

Have you heard the story of Ruby Bridges? Click the play button below to listen to it. You may remember the story better by imagining Ruby's experiences as you listen with your eyes closed. Pause the story to give yourself time to think about each part.

In 1960, Ruby Bridges was a young African American girl who lived during a difficult time in our country's history. Schools were segregated by color, of both students and teachers. If your skin was white, you went to one school, and if your skin was black, you went to another school. Ruby took a test and did very well. Her score allowed her to go to an all-white school named William Frantz Elementary. Some parents and community members were upset about Ruby going to their school. Ruby and her mother had to be walked into school by four U.S. Marshals to keep her safe every day. One teacher, Mrs. Henry, was willing to teach Ruby, but she was in a classroom all by herself the first year. Some parents took their children to other schools, but as time went on, most students returned. Ruby was a very brave young student. She and her family helped change things in New Orleans. More than 50 years later, in 2014, there was a statue of Ruby Bridges put in the courtyard at William Frantz Elementary to remember her bravery.
