Ruby+Bridges



When/where they lived?
 * Ruby was born on September 8, 1954, in Tylertown, Mississippi .Ruby has not yet passed away.

Early life;
 * At he age of 6 she entered school. Her school was basically empty because all the whites would take their children out due to the blacks. Kids at her school would threaten to poison her if she came back to their school. Since the whitesd didn't want anything to do with her child at school she got teached on a different floor and room. This diidn't bother her at first but then she wondered why couldnt she be with the other kids. Her family suffered alot due to the cause that she went to an all white school.

What they did to impact the Civil Rights Movement?
 * The impact they she had on society was that she was one of the first blacks to go to an all white school. She helped schools not be segregated by doing that. She also made a program that was called "Ruby Bridges Foundation". This program is to help people from being racist.

On a scale of 1 (low) to 10 (high), how important do you think this person was to the movement?


 * On scale from one to ten I give her a six. I give her a six because she helped end segregation in schools.Also because she was brave when she went to a school where nobody wanted her there. It's important that it doesn't happen because you need diversity and learn from other people.
