KOJO NNAMDIWelcome back. When she was six years old, Ruby Bridges and her mother had to walk past crowds of screaming, angry white people who did not want a black kid like her to go to an all-white school. For a whole year she had guards, U.S. Marshals to protect her, just so she could go to school. Her bravery 60 years ago made Ruby Bridges one of the youngest heroes of the civil rights era, and she s been working for racial equity ever since.
