Ruby Bridges

Every morning a group of forty or more women, known as the “cheerleaders”, shouted obscene, racist threats at Ruby as she entered Frantz Elementary.

Ruby was a little girl who was one of the first black to go to an all white school.

Ruby was only six years old when she started to go to an all white school.

Security Guards had to protect Ruby from the angry people as she entered and exited the school.
