#HappyBirthdayRuby Bridges

Very brave girl ! Her parents were terrified but she showed them all . Ruby Bridges, who was born on this month in 1954, was the first African-American student to integrate an all-white elementary school in the South. Bridges had to be escorted to and from school by U.S. Marshals during the segregationist protests of her enrollment. Her first day was November 14, 1960. #HappyBirthdayRuby Bridges.
