Ruby Bridges
In 1960, six-year-old Ruby Bridges—escorted by federal marshals and facing an angry mob—became the first African American child to attend an all-white elementary school in the US South. Today, Ruby Bridges is a speaker and children's book author, and she's our speaker at author night. (muffuletta)
