Civil rights icon meets marshal who protected her
Civil rights icon Ruby Bridges is praising a now 91-year-old former federal marshal for escorting her more than a half-century ago to and from a previously all-white elementary school as she helped end segregation in New Orleans' public schools.

This why black history needs to be taught in every school in this nation so people could have a better understanding of what going on today in our society.

The FIRST black child to go to a public school is STILL ALIVE! People like to pretend this is all ancient history. Look at this woman, she doesn’t look ancient does she? She was the FIRST!!!!!!!!! Not too long ago we couldn’t even get real educations!

@@samariathornton9110 The "switch" you talk about is a lie. History proves that to be not true. You mean to say that the Republican abolitionist fought for decades to end slavery and the Democrat's fought just as hard to keep slavery. They fought a war to end it. Republicans elected their first three black men to Congress in 1869 and the Democrat's elected one 66 years later. The South went through reconstruction, Jim Crow, segregation. The Democrats fought and voted nay on every civil rights legislation brought forth by the Republicans. You believe that the Republicans did all this and then decided out-of-the-blue to change to the other side and all the haters on the Democrats side all decided to be not haters all of a sudden? Name one Democrat abolitionist. Look up the "Brooks Sumner affair" and that will give you a good idea on how determined both sides were on the subject of slavery.

I’ll never get why we are hated because of a color. I never will. We are humans too, we pee, we bleed, we breathe. I wish we could all just come together. The marshals the protected her as a child, it should not have to be this way! A CHILD, it makes me so sad thinking about that. I congratulate the marshals and the teacher who taught her, and anyone else who had the heart and will and love for humanity to go against the majority during this period.

You might not get it because we are not "hated because of a color." We are not hated by a color. White is not a human color. My point being, first white is not a pigment of melanin in human skin. Even if it were, Melanin "color" doesn't cause people to hate, or people to be hated. Knowing that, and understanding how white was a "classification," becoming a class of people within a caste system, we can start to look at the people involved, their manner, morals and culture; not their "color" as the cause of their hate.

Mr Marshall, you have done a great job sir.
For even further wonderfulness out of this man, he is quoted as saying. "For a little girl six years old going into a strange school with four strange deputy marshals, a place she had never been before, she showed a lot of courage. She never cried. She didn't whimper. She just marched along like a little soldier. We were all very proud of her." Is someone cutting onions in here? 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

This was very, very, very sickening to not even let a 6 year-old African American girl alone to attend school. Can you imagine she was only 6 years old and already had to deal with the ugliness of racism! OMG!
Thinking of myself at her age, this story was always so stunning to me. This child was so brave. All Black citizens involved in taking action then were so brave. But this was a child all by herself! With all those scary mean and threatening protesting people out there. I just feel so proud of her myself.
Ruby was a brave little soldier.
That was so sweet. Glad she was to reunite and thank him💕💕💕💕 Proud of them both💕🙏🏽 Sad she had go through that period but my goodness she was so courageous.
Wow.. This is amazing

I need someone to explain to me why most southern and other white people hate black people, who had never done any harm to them, since they were brought to America as slaves from Africa. Why so much hate for a people, who had nothing, no homes, no families and no way of communicating their needs.

Think about how cruelty to animals exists in the world, where some love, respect, care for, pamper and protect their dog or cat, but violently butcher the innocent cows. Good people feel compassion for their fellow humans AND other brother and sister family members in other species. But bad, demonic, arrogant, proud, envious people are accustomed to treating others badly. Because there is free will, these two kinds of people act out their inner desires. All acts performed by the living entity-(except those with transcendental results), are self-created engagements arising from an ABUSE of the FREE WILL. Such acts or engagements are never to be considered as if the works and the results were somehow ordained by the almighty Godhead. 🙏🏻🙇🏼♀️
