About this listen

In November 1960, all of America watched as a tiny six-year-old black girl, surrounded by federal marshals, walked through a mob of screaming segregationists and into her school. An icon of the civil rights movement, Ruby Bridges chronicles each dramatic step of this pivotal event in history through her own words.

I cried . . .

when I heard this story, when I heard this name, when I heard about the rocks and poison and black baby in a coffin, and then I cried again when I learned all this happened when she was 6 years old, and I cried another time because my country never told me what it had done to Ruby Bridges.

Gripping...horrifyingly real...TRIUMPHANT

Hateful crowds, fears manifesting as nightmares, heart-breaking isolation...this little girl is the embodiment of courage.

A must read for everyone

In 1981, I lived in Baton Rouge LA and experienced what they called school integration( that meant 5 African Americans in a white school and vice versa). At age 13 and a foreign student, I didn’t really understand what was going on.
I’ve read a lot about the subject matter and always admired people who were involved in social change, but this book really made me connect with the emotional aspect of that struggle.
I am in awe of the and think everyone should read this book, specially now in the midst of promoting diversity, equity and inclusion.
