6:47 Barbara Henry describes seeing Ruby for the first time with the most beautiful words. I am weeping. 💗

So courageous, both teacher and student

There are only 2 words that adequately describe Barbara Henry .... Icon and pioneer! What a woman. A truly unforgettable civil rights legend.

I am an elementary teacher. This story has impacted my life because I teach this every year. My daughter is named Ruby, so it is close to my heart. Kindness, grace, bravery, understanding, care, love. She is the perfect teacher.

Thank you, Barbara, the story could not be told without you! God Bless You

I just wonder how those other teachers are at this moment. Are they proud of themselves? Do they still have the same hatred and prejudice in their hearts? Thank you Mrs. Barbara Henry for being on the right side of history. Thank you for the kindness in your heart.

To be fair some of them may have been frightened of the racist mob. White parents who sent their kids to school were also harassed and threatened.

​@afa78djd idk, I've seen many people that were formerly racist to have a change of heart

Thank you for being so kind to Ruby

This made me teary, not going to lie. Though it acts as a warning too, that the past isn't that far away. And issues such as racism still permeate society today. It's not ancient history at all. Also, great teachers stick with you for life. A teacher, Mrs Chrysostomou, in primary school knew I came from a struggling single-parent family (I went to school in a wealthier area so I stuck out) and saw I was wearing shirts that were threadbare and didn't fit me. So one day she called me out of class, took me straight down to the uniform shop, and bought me well over a $100 in uniforms out of her own money. Made no big deal out of it. Never even mentioned it again. Might seem like nothing to a lot of people, but that may as well have been Christmas come early for me. For the rest of primary school, I would plan every week which days I would wear my new shirts. I felt so proud to wear them. Just to fit in with my peers, and to feel comfortable in my own skin. And as a 23-year-old, I would still put it down as one of the nicest things someone ever did for me. I never got to thank her properly for it. Teachers are important.

I hope you get a chance to be someone’s Mrs Chrysostomou . 💗

This lady will have a beautiful place in heaven for showing the child as much love as she did

Thank god for people like Mrs. Henry. Bold, courageous, and tender. Ruby is incredibly brave and special too.

Oh my God, this story made me cry, this really touched me. It's hard to believe this whole situation happened so recently.

The way she expresses about Ruby 🥺❤️

I want to meet her, I watched so many times tearfully, is there a public speaking event or book event because she has totally touched my heart, and that goes for Ruby and Barbara🙌🏽🙏🏽💯

This story is so needed!! I'm grateful it is being told. I live in New Orleans and have all my life. This is my history. My mother is 72, I am 38. This happened 23 years before I was born!

I am so glad to hear from Ms. Henry. Thank God for her.💜

Beautiful. Thank you Mrs. Henry for being a shining light.

She allowed God to use her. She is a courageous and loving woman. Blessings to her entire family for generations to come.

I’m just glad that she was there for Ruby and not an evil teacher pretending just to get the job

Wow the way she described Ruby made me cry. Truly an angel on earth sent by God at the right time! God bless this woman always.

Thank you so much Mrs Henry. We are forever grateful. Accept our thanks

3:55 A woman carrying her child while insulting another one just look at the face of this innocent white baby and i can tell everyone here this mother was teaching him how to be racist so that's why i don't hate racist people 'cause i know they weren't born racist they learnt to be racist .

Mrs. Henry, thank you for your courage and compassion. I attended DoDEA schools as a child and never endured the hardships that Ruby went through at about the same time (early 60's). You remind me of all the fantastic teachers I had while growing up in Italy, Germany, and Taiwan. Teachers just like you made me a better person.

What’s beautiful and inspiring true story.

Shout out to both Ruby ans Barbara. Although this happened over sixty years ago, they are both still alive as living legends of history.

Oh God, what a wonderful teacher and woman! She knew Ruby was an innocent child and just wanted an education like everyone else! Much respect to her forever for being sweet, kind, and good to Ruby!

Teachers are some of the most compassionate amazing people. I always support teachers. Her story is so profound and amazing. Thank you Mrs Henry for your beautiful heart during such a terrible time! From a New Orleanian 💜

This should be viewed by millions. instead, look at the views. Ruby's story with her teacher should be part of all schools curriculum. Children/schools are powerful change agents. It is so messed up from the TOP. There is still a whole lot of work to be done.

This had me in tears

Thank you Barbara.

THANK YOU SO MUCH MISS HENRY..U DESERVE MORE CREDIT AND MORE RECOGNITION AWARDS THROUGH YOUR WHOLE LIFE....I SALUTE YOU AND SHOW YOU THE ULTIMATE RESPECT..BECAUSE YOU WERE BRAVE DURING A TIME EVERYBODY CAN BE AGAINST YOU FOR DOING THE RIGHT THING!...THANK YOU!

Ms. Henry is a global treasure. The world is better for her presence in it. One also cannot underestimated the power of a teacher. Thank you, Mrs. Henry.

Her courage, dedication, and persistence amaze me. She is definitely one of the greatest teachers all time.

Such pride and purpose from Mrs. Henry, an angel sent from heaven. God Bless you!

May God bless her and her generation.

Wow, what a great and heartwarming story! I had no idea that when Ruby Bridges integrated the school she wasn't immediately in a classroom with other children - white children - but only with a lone white teacher! I'm glad she was eventually in class with several other white children. This teacher is just awesome! I wonder if she is still alive?I know Ruby Bridges is still alive. Those evil, deplorable, bigots outside the school - how could any human being be so hateful to a little child? They were/are the lowest of the low! Addendum: I just went searching for Barbara Henry and happily found she has her own wiki page and is alive and 88 yrs old now. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbara_Henry

This made me cry

She seems sweet. Good for her!!! Having taken up a cause and making something of it. May God bless her family, friends, community through her example, continue to.

Beautiful. God continues to bless both of them. Love triumphs over hate, always.

elle mérite tout le respect, cette merveilleuse institutrice

I always cry over this story. Such an amazing woman! ♥♥♥

Good teachers are so valuable. If there´s one profession that needs a higher pay teaching is that

Nothing but respect ✊🏾
