It's insane to think that this only happened 60 years ago. Thank you Ms. Ruby for being the first step, but we still have many more steps to go.

Now they are trying to remove her story and black history figures from schools… how sad that we seem to be going backwards

I don’t think it would be far fetched like 60 years ago. America, though there has been subtle changes, is not grown that far.

So beautiful to hear her tell her story in such an inspiring way. This experience didn't scar her, it made her flourish. "What the enemy meant for evil, God turned into good"...

No. Racism doesn't make people "flourish." She remained strong, brave, and hopeful DESPITE it, not because of it.

Who’s cutting the onions. I can’t stop crying.

Thank you ruby bridges for making us going to the same school all together

Ruby Bridges this is Leland my class is learning about you in my class always loves you and we loveyou that we are so proud

It’s amazing how we can hear her voice

God bless Barbara Henry for her kindness and bravery.

@2:45 That image represents the meeting of two different generations as if Ruby Bridges is meeting one of the countless children she helped to free. It is adorable and so powerful.

nothing but Black Excellence, what a Queen.

I didn't want this pain for Ruby back when she was little. Not even for all the other black americans. They deserve a lot better that this.

GOD Bless the insight her parents had for her to start this change. Thank Ms. Bridges for all you do and have done🌹

Was thinking the same thing - how incredibly difficult it must have been to see your daughter go through this but at the same time realizing that someone had to take a stand or change would never come.

She’ll be beautiful forever.

I didn’t know ruby was that young

She is young looking for her age.

This people don’t want their grandkids to learn what they did back in the day

I love you !!! Ruby !!!! You was always my favorite!!! Every February when I had to pick somebody to write about it was YOU !!! Without you out blk children wouldn’t have the opportunity at a fair education as the white kids do … thank you for being such a brave beautiful baby girl ❤ …

I met her in my school

Ruby, you are an inspiration. You teach me to be brave, mam.

Hi scholastic. I love this video! It’s so sweet. With her, racism is smaller now.

Beautiful little girl

💚💚💚

What an inspiration

It’s sad that this happens and is so recent :(

Black Excellence! To think, some of the kids who didn't want to play with her and the ones that stood outside with their parents shouting and calling her names are her age today. They make up our workforce. They are the police officers, teachers, bankers...of today.

All hopefully with regret, different mindsets and learned from their wrong doings

She is real American hero.

I didn't want this for her when she was little. 💔

There was a crowd there, but I'm sure it was not 'all mob' there were some whites who were not afraid to show support even though to do so may not bode well for them...I'm so glad that Ruby got the wonderful teacher she deserved...such a great moment in history for change...too slow I know, and that's the heartache of it

Them people a lot of them are alive today ederĺy people now wanting help from us LOOK HOW TIME HAS TURN AROUND

imagine the audacity to identified ur self as Christ follower & being racist at the same time

It's come to my attention through city tours and science museums that juries no longer believe the school was white....various nationalisms like irish have become offended that their claimed to learn latin when they are native nationals...their irish....to me the footage of confederate flags and open speech was too unpacified to be a white issue....in my experience outlandish performance and unrestrained speaking is learned in britian and Germany....similar to black...americans would be blamed for things germans did...so I dont think the elementary school was white...thats not how white systems operate....

Sorry this can’t be taught in Florida
