    Racist parents hurl insults at 6 year-old Ruby Bridges as she enters a traditionally all-white school.
    The first black child to do so in the United States South. 1960. Bridges is just 67 today.

    I can understand why most of this was kept out of the criminal trial because it would have been too prejudicial

    I believe we all have an inner being, your real self, what does it matter what your physical self looks like, it’s just your shell. Give EVERYONE respect to their inner being, the shell doesn’t matter.

    I've never been a fan of country music but I know other African Americans who love it

    It seems to me the state educational institutions are not trying to teach the truth of history the educational systems are trying to hide history or rewrite history in a different version or edition...when history is already written and told.
    ...we met those times .. struggled... grew and moved on from that point and have made significant progress....history shouldn’t be destroyed or hidden. History is where civilization came from and it did take a fight for freedom of constraints ..a struggle like the metamorphosis of a butterfly

    Seems like an reoccurring line too in one way or another ...always asking for humanity to please treat all people in a humane way no matter their belief or circumstance <<<you would think would be common sense

    People who pre-judge are missing out. And it's usually based on characteristics one does not control (skin pigment, for example).
