60 Years Ago: Ruby Bridges' historic steps

[@naudiawallace8023]

Her poor little steps I CRIED . She really just thought she was going to school . As simple as that . No baby you MADE HISTORY

[@amylee8969]

Her mother did a great job letting her do integration while doing her best to shield her from the harsh reality of what was really taking place.

[@willardhall1267]

She’s a hero.

[@memeheart6199]

She’s brave and kind.

Crazy how many of the young kids that shouted those racist things are alive today just in their 60s. The young adults that chanted racist things back then are also still alive probably in their 80s or 90s.

[@londonblythe3412]

Exactly I hope they have changed their views on people of color sense 1960.

[@hallieharker4384]

@@londonblythe3412 Exactly. I sure hope they have changed their views on race, too. Kids are not born hating people. Children are taught to hate. I sure hope they have learned differently since then and I hope their parents changed their views, too.

Yep and they are all voting republican.

@@ExposingTheOldWorldOrder You know all of these people?

[@ExposingTheOldWorldOrder]

@@hallieharker4384 I know the mindset of these types of people, there is always one group that is about to destroy their way of life, they are incapable of evolving and cant accept change. in the 1920-30s it was the irish and italians. In the 60s it was the blacks, in 2000-2010 it was the gays, in the 2020s its immigrants, in the 2050s it will be transgenders again when medical breakthroughs allow men to become pregnant and women can fertilize eggs and in the 2080s it will be the humanoid robots. In the 2080s trumps transgender grand daughter will run for president on the slogan Make America Human Again. She will blame her election loss on A.I. election systems trying to protect the humanoid robots. I know this because im from the future.

We must not forget the White Marshalls who risked their lives & their families lives. Also the White teacher, Mrs. Henry, who agreed to teach her when all the other teachers refused to teach her. I love how gently the White Marshall guides Ruby through the doors. It really touched my heart.

[@amylee8969]

Yes! Poor Ms Henry must’ve been isolated and mistreated for doing the right thing. Such a kind strong lady.

[@tracysue1747]

That was amazing! Praise God for all the good hearted people out there who have been helping her and were with her!!!!!!!

[@petestreet100]

The fact it was grown adults doing that to a 6 year old girl is what's sad and disgusting.

[@londonblythe3412]

She’s a true hero it’s bc of her children of all races get to get a good education and learn together play together and eat lunch together basically go to school together now and hopefully those ignorant people that was protesting outside the school that are still alive today have changed there views on people of color .

[@danfallon9393]

Her mother was right… ❤❤ she’s such an inspiration, her whole family are x

[@renaehawkins6809]

I love this story. Ruby Bridges is an amazing women!

[@ChrissyRedd37]

I remember watching the movie. It's disgusting how grown adults act towards a child.

[@Dr.teebee]

The courage of a family that sacrificed their young child to make a difference not only for herself but for all black children and in todays society some people take so much for granted. Teach black children their history.

[@highlyfavored12]

It's sad that the Parents taught their innocent kids to be racist bullies.

[@Addie_Tingler]

I finished reading through my eyes today it was truly an amazing day

[@ariannashrum9068]

It’s insane how this happened such a short time ago

[@firewaterbydesign]

This precious little girl, was incredibly brave and wise beyond her years!!! When I think about what she did at her age, I am astonished by her strength and courage. 💪 I grew up in this era and began school in the early 60's. I still remember the racism and *NEVER-EVER* understanding why my mother was so racist. I refused to raise my own children to be racist, as I believe that change ALWAYS begins within ourselves and what we can change in our own lives to assure that these twisted values are NOT taught to future generations. Let it begin with *ME!!!*

[@Lornak17274]

From the brilliant Musical "South Pacific" one indelible Song lyrics "... you have got to be taught to hate, before you are six or seven or eight...." of which your Mom was and back to Hitler who openly espoused teach Hate by age 7 :/ Evil-doers exist because Satan is always so very busy & The Prayer To Saint Michael The Archangel says it Very well with each & every Prayer beginning and ending "in The Name of Jesus. Amen" 😊

[@Captn_crunch]

What a brave little girl

[@OfficialTravvyTrav]

Yet y’all wanna ban CRT because it makes you feel uncomfortable 🙄

[@anitagalourus3082]

It's still sad that rascism still exists in this world. People who are like that haven't seen the history of segeragtion, they don't know the pain that Ruby must have been through. White children got a lot better education that the black children, it just isn't fair. Ruby must have been so scared, she was only six. But we are lucky that not everyone thinks that way and we have some nice people on this planet. Ruby had lots of trauma in her life, but I hope she never forgets that she will be the one that ended the horrible past of racism. I hope y'all are having a really good day!

I've never visited the US so I don't know, but do any of you know what it was that protesters were afraid would happen if an African American child was at school with their children?

[@Lornak17274]

The only true African Americans are immigrants from Nigeria and all incl those who arrived as tiny tots exactly like 'Dreamers' who only see themselves as Americans first. My own bi-racial grown Children do Not like nor use anything except Black or bi-racial and my oldest 'just' American❤❤❤❤

And let's not forget also that the city of New Orleans was run by Democrats during this time as well as the governorship of Louisiana. She had to be escorted to class because of Democrats who stood in the way of integration. The Democrats ran these states.

[@penne4107]

And let’s not forget that it had nothing to do with political party, as democrat or republican, white people were determined to keep black people away from their schools

[@t.e.8084]

Democrats then were really repubs.

[@Lornak17274]

Yes back then and they also torture-murdered by lynching all of the post-Civil War Progressive Democrats who were against Slavery and Jim Crow. i Thank God that both sides of my Family were Abolitionists with my paternal Grandfather's Mother's Father John and his brother Frank both among the few Survivors of the Auschwitz of the South, Andersonville....
