The inspirational true story of Ruby Bridges.
The year is 1960, and six-year-old Ruby Bridges and her family have
recently moved from Mississippi to New Orleans in search of a better
life. When a judge orders Ruby to attend first grade at William Frantz
Elementary, an all-white school, Ruby must face angry mobs of parents
who refuse to send their children to school with her. Told with Robert
Coles' powerful narrative and dramatically illustrated by George Ford,
Ruby's story of courage, faith, and hope continues to resonate more than
60 years later.
