This Is Your Time

Ruby Bridges was chosen to be one of the first black children to attend a white school. Ruby Bridges was only six years old in 1960 when she was escorted by four National Guardsmen to class every day for her first year of school in New Orleans. Bridges tells the story of that time and offers encouragement to all of us to take action to making the world a better place for all people.

READ BY RUBY BRIDGES!
This was a short read but a good one.

It's hard to believe that this wasn't that long ago that it can still be narrated by Ruby. This book got me thinking and hoping.
