Ruby Bridges - [WATCH] The Full Movie


Watch here, the movie of the real life story depicted of Ruby Bridges - born September 8, 1954 - the first African-American child to attend an all-white public elementary school in the American South.

US Marshalls escorted Ruby to and from school so she wasn't literally lynched
by angry white mob who made violent protests because a black kid came
to an all white school

I cannot begin to describe the humiliation, abuse, ostracization to list the least any 6 year old could go through just because she wanted a better life she so deserved... This post would be useless not to mention the enormous foundation of love woven in the heart of this child by her beautiful parents who taught her to only respond with love, the love of God, to all those that showed her hatred.

hanging outside of the Oval Office. The painting depicts her walk to school on
 the day of school integration in New Orleans

God bless you Ruby Nell Bridges . I celebrate you!!! Perhaps it is ideal to end this post with the fantastic words of Mahatma Gandhi — 'First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, and then you win.'
