About this listen

Ruby Bridges will be forever seared in the American imagination as a young girl being escorted to school by federal marshals. Though Brown v. Board of Education was decided before Bridges was even born, many schools were still not integrated by the time that she was ready to start her education. One marshal said of Bridges on her first day of school, “She never cried. She didn’t whimper. She just marched along like a little soldier.”
