Ruby Bridges' journey is far from over. She actively travels the world sharing her story. Her latest book is a children's book called I Am Ruby Bridges. Join us next week when we hear from author Dan Pink on the science of regret.
Civil rights icon Ruby Bridges is our guest today. She shares what it was like to be the first African-American student to attend an all-white elementary school in Louisiana in 1960. Ruby was just six years old at the time, and it would be years before she fully appreciated her role in advancing civil rights in America.
