Through My Eyes

by Ruby Bridges
How would you have felt if you had been the first black child to ever set foot in an all white school?  In this poignant story, we are allowed to see through the eyes of six-year-old Ruby Bridges who, escorted by federal marshals through mobs of screaming segregationists, became the first black child to enter a white school.  From these roots grew the wings of integration.*
