Summary
The Story of Ruby Bridges by Robert Coles
The Story of Ruby Bridges is the story of a six-year-old African-American girl who became the first black child to go to an all-white school. In 1960, Ruby Bridges started school at William Frantz Elementary in New Orleans, Louisiana. At that time, many white people were not happy about Ruby’s presence at their school. Because of Ruby’s courage, she became a historic example of how bravery and love can triumph hate. While reading this book, students can benefit from using the BookPagez resources to make inferences, determine important events, and ask questions to comprehend this critical time in America’s history.
