Overview
The inspirational true story of Ruby Bridges.
Es 1960 y Ruby Bridges, de seis años, se acaba de mudar con su familia de Misisipi a Nueva Orleans buscando una vida mejor. Cuando un juez sentencia que Ruby debe asistir al primer grado de la Escuela Primaria William Frantz, en la que todos son blancos, la niña debe encarar las furiosas turbas de padres que no quieren que sus hijos vayan a la escuela con ella. Contada con el poderoso estilo narrativo de Robert Coles y dramáticamente ilustrada por George Ford, la historia de coraje, fe y esperanza de Ruby aún resuena más de 60 años después.
