Oh what a lovely child , this is heartbreaking.. Oh shes so beautiful how could people be so hateful .I do not understand ... She is so courageous ..love to you and your family from liverpool xx
Are we still see the hate now the riot in the capital they hate Trump puts out Q all those racist groups Trump bring it all out that's why they love him he let them know it's okay to hate next time they go to the Capitol National Guard will be waiting
I am a black woman of Ruby’s generation. I attended segregated schools in Florida. This brought tears to my eyes when I remember what I endured as a child. This presentation was beautifully put together. I Thank God for Ruby bridges and her family.
I have a daughter that age. I can't imagine sending her into a mob like that. Her mother was so brave and courageous. That poor little girl heard and saw things no child should see. I'm so grateful for their bravery. The world would be very different without it.
I believe she was born to do what she did because God put something in her to be a brave little girl like she was. I believe that was part of her purpose. God was with her the entire time.
Thats how i feel. I wouldnt have been able to put my kid in that situation. Everyone speaks of her like she did something - I'm sorry but no. She was six. She went to school because her mom said go to school. It is HER PARENTS that deserve the metal of honor! For faith in humanity! For trusting the unknown. I'm sorry but we are putting a bit too much emphasis on a kid being a kid. Her PARENTS were the brave ones.
Her mother *and* father were brave. According to the movie her father had a much more difficult time with the decision to send his daughter to that school.
akua marfo please black people are not suffering because they are black. They are suffering because white people say black people are not civilized, and did not contribute to civilization. Which is a lie. And also because Everything black people want to get belongs to white people. Black people don’t have their own. Anybody that is in this position, will always be ridiculed and make fun of. Everything about them will be ridiculed and make fun of. Including their skin color and appearance. That is why black appearance is being made fun of today. They go to white people for jobs, to rent apartments, insurance, etc. While while people do not do the same. White people fear that they will loose everything they own and dominate to black people. They are fighting to preserve what is under their control from going to the hands of black people.
@@vanessareedhawaiinani Well atleast things are better in 2022, I think there going to have a hard time in modern society, with such old and wicked views.
If Ruby and her mother are still alive... so are the 200 that gathered carrying coffins...and the little boy who couldn’t play with her and probably his mother...let that sink in.
The racism back then was unbearable, Ruby and most of these people are still alive today, that’s why I cannot understand why people say “it’s in the past get over it” , I’ve never seen or heard of people saying to soldiers or veterans that have PTSD “it’s in the past get over it,” or say to Jewish people “the holocaust was in the past get over it” America has such an ugly past, and unfortunately most people want to ignore it and ignore what’s going on now. Instead of trying to see someone else’s point of view they reject that any racism is going on in today’s world. It’s sad that most adults can’t sit down and talk about racism in our country. 🙁
That band aid that they keep on applying to that stinking, pus filled sore that they caused, will be the total destruction of America. We see it in 2020/2021
A lot of people benefit from racisim so in many cases they don't want it to end. People need to come to the realization that this world profits from evil. Racial profiling from police gives the police work to do, harassing black people while they're driving - giving them tickets, BUSINESS. Prision for petty crimes, ALL BUSINESS TACTICS. Targeting black youth is a business. Racisim, which is psychological abuse/trauma to black people, creates the stress that leads to cellular damage that creates highblood pressure, diabetes, and other issues produces a demographic for the pharmaceutical companies to target black people for BUSINESS. Racisim is business. Its hate with a purpose. Very low vibrational behavior from evil people.
I can't fathom how she felt during this period of her life, it's so disappointing a small child would be faced with such abuse. I can only say I'm glad to see how she's come out at the end of it.
@@marquisdehoto1638 - I think her mother should be credited for raising her to be strong and believe in herself. That teacher was also part of helping her become who she is today. There is nothing more rewarding than helping a child live up to his or her potential.
This made me cry and I'm a grown man. I don't know if it's anger for those who could treat a beautiful little girl with such cruelty or if it's because I'm so struck by how brave she is. I think it's both. What a brave awesome intelligent beautiful person. May the Lord show those ignorant hateful uncivilized people no mercy. I know she wouldn't condone that sentiment because she's a bigger person than I am. I can't help it though. Thank you for what you did and are still doing Mrs. Bridges you're an American hero.
They had children and passed on their hate to the next generation before passing on themselves. Their children had children and children and children and we see them today. They may be dead but their hate, I'm sure lives on. Prayerfully, someone in their line broke the cycle but it's doubtful.
Its actually sad how most people treated a 6 year old a grown man spit in her a woman said she was going to poison her which made ruby not want to eat how can you feel threatened by the color of someone skin and she was 6 how can you be threatened by a 6 year old these people were sick I can forgive these people though because this was how they were taught to think
I bet most of this people would have demand the death penalty for someone who killed a child.... Those people where probably afraid that they loose their job/house/lifestyle if this changed... and it's still the most common reason for fear and discrimination. But change is inevitable.
@@TrippiiOfficial we are people but not like them. We are bot the same, just the same species. Birds are one species but they are very different. Not the same.
I can remember watching this on the news at the time. The words they used were not bleeped out back them because white people used those words daily toward POC who were minding their own business and not doing anything wrong to anyone. Ruby had a large crowd verbally attacking her daily, but I'm sure she had experienced this vitriol by smaller groups while she was outside playing or walking anywhere because racists are filled with hate and have no problem attacking a child. Many of these people are still alive and still see themselves in these videos. I hope that they feel the shame that they should feel that they could ever treat anyone like this let alone a child, but I doubt they've changed one bit. 70 million people just voted to return to this.
I used to believe that this was in the past. And maybe a few stragglers still remained, like maybe 3-5%. Until Trump was elected. Then it solidified when I heard over 70 million voted for him again. That’s like half the country. That’s dangerous. No wonder the BLM is necessary.
I'm glad so glad that you're one of the few Caucasian people who see that racism still exist, like yes this happened a long time ago, but alot of people are still racist, I feel like racism is taught, but we can all see what being racist does.

Your last sentence couldn't be more wrong. Trump supporters love Americans! American's come in all races. Trump supporters come in all races. Democrats started the KKK and Democrats did not vote for ending slavery. We need to remember history and not just the good. History has been lied about so much people don't know what to believe. Trump supporters love Jesus Christ. I am so happy that segregation ended. (At least its mostly ended in California.) Ruby is a brave hero. She should be recognized. How many schools are named after her? I don't like renaming things but the next school built in that city needs to be named after her.
Towards the end she said that children would bring forth the change we need and I see it a lot within my generation. I’m so proud that we aren’t standing back and ignoring the problems we need to change in society. Individually we are great but together we are powerful.
Miss Ruby. Thank you for being an inspiration to me and my fellow black brothers and sisters. Thank you for paving the way for us. You have my utmost respect.
@@zachsakaria4957 there was a point where black people didn't have a worth. Been put through that bullshit for over 400 god-damned years and no body says "Alm" when Asian people say "stop Asian hate" and look, they put them in the race protection law but didn't do the same for black people. All lives don't matter until black lives matter. And today black people still get treated a certain way sometimes.
Are you proud White America? Some of the people shouting and threatening to kill her are still alive today, their kids are alive today. Are they proud of their parents? Have they learned anything from this? Would they do the same if only they could? Let that sink in.
Doubt it. Not when "safe spaces" are being set up for "poc." "People of color" is literally the exact same thing as the racist term, "colored people." And when there are people like that student at the University of Virginia going on camera to tell white people they have the whole campus which implies anyone that isn't white somehow doesn't also have the whole campus despite attending that University, it seems to me like Ruby Bridges needs to be talked about more. Because now there's a black woman advocating for segregation by guilting white people and that's not the direction anyone should be going in. It's incredibly backwards.
@@iuile Black people were shamed for asking for integration and now you also want to shame them for saying the system has really not changed and they need to be protected from it.
I'm sure they don't have any remorse, nor shame. What they fail to realise is that we are not our Ancestors, and will stand up and fight back. New age, new generation.
Dom most of those kids who interacted with ruby probably came to like her and to question the racial climate they were brought up in! As children learn best from the positivd experiences they have with others!
What a beautiful story and a beautiful human being. All those that did the right things. The parents and kids that sent their kids to school and the faculty that also showed courage and true love/respect.
Ruby stood up with dignity,she was an epitomy of courage,we all need to remember we are human no matter what the colour of our skin,kindness,respect and love each other only then can we overcome our indifferences
I just saw for the first time Ruby Bridges giving her testimony of entering an all white school. It was absolutely amazing. It so touched my heart. I pray for you Ruby and your passion for Equality. May the Holy Spirit lead you. Love Paul
It just blows me away the hatred people had for POC back then ..it's almost to an extent of MENTALLY insane! How screwed up does one have to be to treat a little girl like this ? Yet this little girl and her mother walked into that school with such grace and class and respect.
How horrible for adults to behave that way towards a little girl only because she represented the change they sought not to see. Little Miss Ruby was truly a courageous human being - without her being fully aware of just how much she was! ❤️
So very brave, an inspiration of her courage and determination, strength. She walked to that school w dignity, and bravery, and a beautiful smile. A little girl who just wanted an education and faced all kind of cruelty, traumatism just because of the color of her skin. How stupid can be her oppressors?
@ Urey Mathieu Yup! Nothing more shameful than grown folks who don’t know how to act like adults. Respect for others and manners is something that should be taught from the time they’re 5 years old and heading to kindergarten.
Ruby was so smart, brave and strong. It took a lot of courage for her parents and teacher to continue every day while having to deal with adversity and resistance from their community.
I’m speechless & disgusted in myself for not even knowing this history , Ruby ...you have strength I have never seen & I will always follow & support you in every way I know how 💗❤️💗❤️
She said " if we are going to get past our racial differences it's going to come from our kids" Agreed💯. If children learn the right way they would adjust and the younger generation of today is living proof of that. Standing up to their racist old school family members and applying pressure like little Ruby did. Much respect to them 🙏🏾. Of course It'll never be a perfect system but we shall continue to elevate bar none!
This is the history that a lot of people don't want to talk about today or don't want taught in schools. It is however a part of the real and truthful history of this country and it was only 63 years ago. Truth will not be denied. No matter how much some might want to do so. Peace.
That small girl was SO SO SO SO BRAVE and a beacon for change. Wow it has me crying. We never had segregated schools in UK not in my lifetime or my mother's or my nanas.. but this girl paved the way for integrated schools in the usa. It does still happen today even in the UK. Back when my son was born in 2005 he had the n word called him a few times in pri.ary school and high school. Its starts with the parents. Teach your kids better!
WOW! That was such an emotional rollercoaster 💚 It’s was heartbreaking, heartwarming, powerful and touched every piece of my soul from the inside out 💔💫❤️ The bravery, the unbelievable cruelty to the humanity and love between 2 beautiful souls from different generations that tells such a meaningful msg that I truly cannot put into words 💫
Her courage is termed Brave because she was born to blaze the path for others to follow suit. Note she was born to break that ice reference 1corn 10:13. It says Our Father will not let us be tempted above what we can't bear or overcome and He made an escape route for her. That is why no evil attempts, poison or angry mobs could stop God's covenant upon her life manifesting. Going forward from here, what are the lessons derived to deter a reoccurence or provoked flasbacks. Peace !
What a brave, brave baby girl. I thank the parents for sending her and I thank Ruby for being so brave. She has seen things she shouldn't see at that tender age.... she was forced to be brave and for that, I thank them all ❤️
I was there. Not at Ruby's school but at the Birmingham church bombing, which was much worse. I saw the bodies of the four girls being carried away on the stretchers. I also witnessed friends, parents, other adults saying they deserved it: this wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for 'outside agitators' (that's the word we used back then). If you haven't heard the song "Birmingham Sunday," it's readily available.
That was a very touching story and Ruby had STRENGTH from within and courage also. Thank God for her Teacher who made such a difference In Her Life and others.
*BRAVEST GIRL ON THE PLANET!!!* Absolutely *NO* child should have gone through such a terrible ordeal!!! However, we thank God 🙏 that this precious little girl stood strong and changed this *ENTIRE* country!!! I grew up in this era with a racist mother and I could *NEVER-EVER* understand her way of thinking. I refused to pass racism on to my own children, for this reason. This incredible woman is a *VERY* important part of our history in America. 🇺🇸
Kudos to the president who protected Ruby❤️Big Kudos to her teacher who stood by her🙏❤️and to the parents who let their kids play and study with Ruby. We have a long way to go American🙏🙏🙏please spread love and kindness❤️
She has always been my favorite person from history since I was a child how she was so brave and still prayed for them even though they were threatening her. I love her!
I’m white and grew up in a very white household. Thankfully in middle school I was allowed to go to school and not be homeschooled. I had a black math teacher at that school that taught us black history and had us watch this movie and took us to an all black school. I’m so incredibly thankful to her for that because I got zero black education in my home. I remember absolutely loving the Ruby Bridges movie she showed us. Thank you Mrs. Freeman! ❤
Ruby is the same age as my mom, but when we were taught about segregation or late Jim Crow era, we were ALWAYS presented with black & white pictures. The way our history books portrayed this/how our teachers explained it, was that it happened SOOOO long ago, when it is only two generations removed from mine. Have you ever noticed how you've seen a TON of pictures of Marilyn Monroe in color, but almost every single one of Martin Luther King was shown in black & white?? Marilyn is older than MLK (although, not by much). Is it starting to make sense?? We're purposely shown these images in B&W so it appears as if it was so far removed from modern day. I sat down & talked w my mom about segregation/how Ruby is her age, and she told me that right before she had entered highschool, in DENVER, schools were STILL segregated, and her class was one of the first (in the area) to have both black and white students together. They would bus a group of black children into her school, and bus a group of white children over to the black schools downtown. I've never had these talks with my mom before, so it was shocking to hear that she had experienced this first hand. Yes, when we were taught about segregation, teachers/history books gave us dates, but the language used to describe it made it sound like it was a much longer time ago. I highly suggest sitting down with your parents, grandparents and great grandparents (if your fortunate enough to have them around still) and have a talk with them about their experiences during these times. Their stories might shock you, & it might give you a better understanding of how recent these kinds of things happened.
I'm the same age as Ruby, and admired her when I was also a little girl who loved to read. However 1) I'm mostly white (my maternal grandfather was from Trinidad, and I also have several Indigenous family members and 2) I'm not from the US South). I still remember the photos and the Rockwell painting, but back then the news reports did not include the hateful language and death threats against a little girl my age...
👑 Obulu royalty. No words but thank you Ruby, family, teacher and all who are like you/us. Continued hope to me and billions worldwide who only have love in our hearts; are targets; forced to look over our shoulders everyday. 3rd time watching this and I will keep coming back to this
Ruby is only 68 years old, this is not centuries ago. We are barely out of the jungle. When we complain about racism we are not playing victim, this is real thing.
Ruby was a courageous little girl. God bless her, her family and her teacher.
GOD Bless you all

made me cry to watch how angered people got towards a child
I'm in tears. People can be so cruel. I feel her strength, her determination, her pain. it's so emotional
White people can be so cruel, name another demographic that behaves in such a way!
I just saw for the first time Ruby Bridges giving her testimony of entering an all white school. It was absolutely amazing. It so touched my heart. I pray for you Ruby and your passion for Equality. May the Holy Spirit lead you. Love Paul
Massive respect to Ruby Bridges.
While I cannot elaborate, her fight and the way Goalcast told her story saved my life.
It just blows me away the hatred people had for POC back then ..it's almost to an extent of MENTALLY insane! How screwed up does one have to be to treat a little girl like this ?
Yet this little girl and her mother walked into that school with such grace and class and respect.
lol back then? They still have hate what do you mean lol
Sad world where ppl think there’s something wrong with you just because of the colour on your skin
I bet that's why Aliens don't like us because of how idiotic a lot of people
How horrible for adults to behave that way towards a little girl only because she represented the change they
sought not to see. Little Miss Ruby was truly a courageous human being - without her being fully aware of just how much she was! ❤️
So very brave, an inspiration of her courage and determination, strength. She walked to that school w dignity, and bravery, and a beautiful smile. A little girl who just wanted an education and faced all kind of cruelty, traumatism just because of the color of her skin. How stupid can be her oppressors?
@ Urey Mathieu
Yup! Nothing more shameful than grown folks who don’t know how to act like adults. Respect for others and manners is something that should be taught from the time they’re 5 years old and heading to kindergarten.
"Kids know nothing about racism. The adults are the ones who teach them."
- Ruby Bridges
She was a courageous and determined at 6 years. She fought for many . Long live Ruby
Ruby was accompanied by God the whole time. NOTHING could touch her
Amen!
Their hate will be there own downfall.
Amen to that
Amen!!
THAT PART!
PERIODT
Ruby was so smart, brave and strong. It took a lot of courage for her parents and teacher to continue every day while having to deal with adversity and resistance from their community.
I’m speechless & disgusted in myself for not even knowing this history , Ruby ...you have strength I have never seen & I will always follow & support you in every way I know how 💗❤️💗❤️
Ruby was such a brave little girl. At that age, even though I loved school, no way I would attempt to go in front of that hateful mob. God bless her.
Imagine making a meeting to agree on waking up early in the morning as a mob to go scare a 6 year old child🤦🏽♂️
I remember in the 6th grade we did a play about this very incident. I still can’t believe people can be this hateful
the white people felt feared by her power. I admire her
💯
So traumatic!! Poor baby Ruby!! What a strong woman
This story always breaks my heart. I am about ready to show this to my 8th graders this year and am going to use this as an introduction to the movie.
I already knows about her but still I'm literally crying.
Such a hero. The power of this story will ring like a bell throughout our history.
She said " if we are going to get past our racial differences it's going to come from our kids" Agreed💯. If children learn the right way they would adjust and the younger generation of today is living proof of that. Standing up to their racist old school family members and applying pressure like little Ruby did. Much respect to them 🙏🏾. Of course It'll never be a perfect system but we shall continue to elevate bar none!
Those people who bullied Ruby were monsters
9 dislikes for what.. telling the truth.. showing true courage??
The ones who dislike... You know what they are... Racist
@@c.w.3739 Whyte people!!
What an amazing little girl and an amazing teacher.
Just saw this video, never knew about that story. This woman is a hero! God bless ya!
This is the history that a lot of people don't want to talk about today or don't want taught in schools. It is however a part of the real and truthful history of this country and it was only 63 years ago. Truth will not be denied. No matter how much some might want to do so. Peace.
I have admired her all my life. It is on my bucket list to meet her before I die. I have thought of her many many times when I needed courage.
This is one of the hardest watches I've ever seen, although one of the most inspirational..... what an absolute hero Ruby 👏
That small girl was SO SO SO SO BRAVE and a beacon for change. Wow it has me crying. We never had segregated schools in UK not in my lifetime or my mother's or my nanas.. but this girl paved the way for integrated schools in the usa. It does still happen today even in the UK. Back when my son was born in 2005 he had the n word called him a few times in pri.ary school and high school. Its starts with the parents. Teach your kids better!
I think her parents were most courageous. I could not have let my child undergo such trauma. But someone had to do it.
May God bless this teacher
Ms. Ruby Bridges you are truly an inspiration then and now today 2022, beautiful example of a Black American heroine, much love my sister..!
For sure she is a Ruby and a Bridge as well...
Ms. Ruby, thank you for paving the way for many of us. We appreciate you, Queen. Salute! ❤️
I’m shocked and saddened at the ignorance that was so prevalent at that time.
Wt supremacy, call it what it is. Its still prevalent now, they just aren't as bold
this has always been a heart hurt for myself, to see the picture of this little girl going to school
Woow!! So powerful and ground breaking Ruby! And the teacher as well! What an ally👏🙏
Such a heavy burden for a brave little girl.
If ever you did not know what White Privilege is about, this goes a long way to explain it.
I'm glad there was a good lady/ teacher that didn't care the color of Ruby's skin. Im glad Ruby had courage to make a difference. Thank you.
Ruby Bridges is absolutely amazing
WOW! That was such an emotional rollercoaster 💚
It’s was heartbreaking, heartwarming, powerful and touched every piece of my soul from the inside out 💔💫❤️
The bravery, the unbelievable cruelty to the humanity and love between 2 beautiful souls from different generations that tells such a meaningful msg that I truly cannot put into words 💫
Such a beautiful and brave child. Blazing a path at that age against an angry ignorant and oppressing mob takes courage.🥰💕💖
This is so sad )) such a brave lovely little girl ))) she is beautiful xx
Her courage is termed Brave because she was born to blaze the path for others to follow suit. Note she was born to break that ice reference 1corn 10:13. It says Our Father will not let us be tempted above what we can't bear or overcome and He made an escape route for her. That is why no evil attempts, poison or angry mobs could stop God's covenant upon her life manifesting. Going forward from here, what are the lessons derived to deter a reoccurence or provoked flasbacks. Peace !
What a brave, brave baby girl. I thank the parents for sending her and I thank Ruby for being so brave. She has seen things she shouldn't see at that tender age.... she was forced to be brave and for that, I thank them all ❤️
Awesome 👏🏼 awesome bless her and her teacher and all other families thank you
God Bless Ruby Bridges for making our future better
Remember these people had children. Alot are police officers and politicians, judges and lawyers, teachers...
God Bless this teacher she is a real one ❤
I was there. Not at Ruby's school but at the Birmingham church bombing, which was much worse. I saw the bodies of the four girls being carried away on the stretchers. I also witnessed friends, parents, other adults saying they deserved it: this wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for 'outside agitators' (that's the word we used back then).
If you haven't heard the song "Birmingham Sunday," it's readily available.
So sorry you and all around you and all of us had to experience that insanity. May we create a better world with our Prayers, Words & Deeds...
Thank you Ruby Bridges.
The number one enemy of people are people. how cruel and heartless we are.... it's really heartbreaking...
This hits deep in the heart.
god bless that teacher for being so nice
That was a very touching story and Ruby had STRENGTH from within and courage also. Thank God for her Teacher who made such a difference In Her Life and others.
*BRAVEST GIRL ON THE PLANET!!!*
Absolutely *NO* child should have gone through such a terrible ordeal!!!
However, we thank God 🙏 that this precious little girl stood strong and changed this *ENTIRE* country!!!
I grew up in this era with a racist mother and I could *NEVER-EVER* understand her way of thinking. I refused to pass racism on to my own children, for this reason.
This incredible woman is a *VERY* important part of our history in America. 🇺🇸
Your shamfull history 😂
Yt women tears didn't work to prevent her
Kudos to the president who protected Ruby❤️Big Kudos to her teacher who stood by her🙏❤️and to the parents who let their kids play and study with Ruby. We have a long way to go American🙏🙏🙏please spread love and kindness❤️
Salute to her courage
Shame on these people! 🤮🤮🤮
Politicians choose to honor their constituencies when they feel like it, otherwise they ignore it. 🤦🏾♀️
children are so pure and innocent we adults put hate in them
Wow that was such a great video thank you so much for being courageous and strong and because of you we have a chance you are truly awesome!
She has always been my favorite person from history since I was a child how she was so brave and still prayed for them even though they were threatening her. I love her!
I’m white and grew up in a very white household. Thankfully in middle school I was allowed to go to school and not be homeschooled. I had a black math teacher at that school that taught us black history and had us watch this movie and took us to an all black school. I’m so incredibly thankful to her for that because I got zero black education in my home. I remember absolutely loving the Ruby Bridges movie she showed us. Thank you Mrs. Freeman! ❤
Those kids protesting too are not that old today.
it’s sad most of these people are now parents and grandparents and likely didn’t change their ways of thinking.
I'm so thankful for the courage of the past and thankful I was born in the 70's
Thank Ruby Bridges! Why isn't she giving virtual speeches at every public school?
Ruby Bridges is a brave and smart little girl because she walked up to that school so bravely
Ruby is the same age as my mom, but when we were taught about segregation or late Jim Crow era, we were ALWAYS presented with black & white pictures. The way our history books portrayed this/how our teachers explained it, was that it happened SOOOO long ago, when it is only two generations removed from mine. Have you ever noticed how you've seen a TON of pictures of Marilyn Monroe in color, but almost every single one of Martin Luther King was shown in black & white?? Marilyn is older than MLK (although, not by much). Is it starting to make sense?? We're purposely shown these images in B&W so it appears as if it was so far removed from modern day.
I sat down & talked w my mom about segregation/how Ruby is her age, and she told me that right before she had entered highschool, in DENVER, schools were STILL segregated, and her class was one of the first (in the area) to have both black and white students together. They would bus a group of black children into her school, and bus a group of white children over to the black schools downtown. I've never had these talks with my mom before, so it was shocking to hear that she had experienced this first hand.
Yes, when we were taught about segregation, teachers/history books gave us dates, but the language used to describe it made it sound like it was a much longer time ago.
I highly suggest sitting down with your parents, grandparents and great grandparents (if your fortunate enough to have them around still) and have a talk with them about their experiences during these times. Their stories might shock you, & it might give you a better understanding of how recent these kinds of things happened.
I'm the same age as Ruby, and admired her when I was also a little girl who loved to read. However 1) I'm mostly white (my maternal grandfather was from Trinidad, and I also have several Indigenous family members and 2) I'm not from the US South). I still remember the photos and the Rockwell painting, but back then the news reports did not include the hateful language and death threats against a little girl my age...
👑 Obulu royalty. No words but thank you Ruby, family, teacher and all who are like you/us. Continued hope to me and billions worldwide who only have love in our hearts; are targets; forced to look over our shoulders everyday. 3rd time watching this and I will keep coming back to this
What an incredible history.
Thank God for those federal marshals protecting her during this horrible experience.
Ruby is only 68 years old, this is not centuries ago. We are barely out of the jungle. When we complain about racism we are not playing victim, this is real thing.
Ruby you are amazing and wonderful we as a society owe you so so much xx
All those ignorant parents teaching their children to hate. Shameful!
