Ruby Bridges
In November 1960, six-year-old Ruby Bridges Hall became the first African American child to desegregate an elementary school.
Although she only lived a few blocks from the William Frantz Elementary school in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Marshals had to escort Ruby because of angry segregationist mobs that gathered in front of the school.
For an entire year, she was the only student in her class since white parents pulled their children from the school in protest.
She wrote about her experiences in her book THROUGH MY EYES. http://www.pbs.org/wnet/aaworld/history/spotlight_september.html - broken link
