Ruby Bridges was six years old when she became the first African American student to desegregate William France elementary in all white school. U.S. Marshals had to escort Ruby there to make sure she wasn't harmed by protesters along the way. No one told Ruby how monumental this moment was and it would be years before she would fully appreciate her role in shaping the future of civil rights in America.
