Never forget when Ruby Bridges integrated her elementary school a white woman woman held up a black baby doll in a coffin & another white woman threatened to poison her.

The entire school year Ruby was only allowed to eat food that she brought from home, for her own safety.
The only person who would agree to teach Ruby was a white woman named Barbara Henry & for over a year taught Ruby alone.

The 1st white student who broke the boycott & entered the school was a white girl named Pam Foreman.

We have a choice— which white woman are we going to be?
Ruby Bridges is alive today. She’s only 65 years old.
