I love her! We are contemporaries! When I started school I was a gay boy removed from his mom & put in a foster home where I was beaten. But I was white & male & even at 6 everyone expected me to go to college. Ruby Bridges endured worse than I, not for herself, but for generations to follow.
Also, TODAY

Ruby at the tender age of just 6 years old because the first black child to integrate an all-white school school in New Orleans
Walk in her shoes ..try to imagine..she never missed a day of school
