“Don’t be afraid.” That’s what Ruby Bridges’s mother told her on November 4, 1960. Little Ruby listened carefully to the advice. Soon, four United States federal court marshals, or officers, arrived at the Bridges family home in New Orleans, La., to drive the first grader to William Frantz Public School. A screaming mob was waiting. People stood near the building shouting. Ruby held her head high. With the marshals surrounding her, the 6-year-old walked into the school and into history

i heard this sad story about these students who were the first black students in an american school and no one talked to them and anyway on the final day when they graduated and got there certificates when one fo the guys went up no one clapped, they only clapped for the white people. so mean :(
