This essay that I’m going to talk about is about Ruby Bridges. She was the first black black child to cross an invisible line and enter an all-white school. She was only six years old when she went to the school in New Orleans on November 12, 1960. On her first day to the school she was escorted by three men that were white. Also on the first day of school there was a group of white people gathered by Franz Elementary school.

The first day they went she was drawing white people with head and arms and black people with heads and no arms or legs. She did that because back then blacks weren’t equal to white. The two of them always had fun together everyday do different activities with each other, some days she would draw how her day went or they would talk about if she liked doing to this school. So the things I learned about Ruby Bridges is that she is hard working and willing to take risks. After a while her mom and dad liked her going to his school because she started having more fun, meeting new people talking to more
