I Am Ruby Bridges | Ruby Bridges

I will bridge the gap between Black and White... and hopefully all people! I suppose some things in life are just meant to be.

I Am Ruby Bridges | Ruby Bridges

This autobiography is a good read for elementary and middle school students since it is a first person perspective of a huge historical event. Hearing Bridges personal account will give students a deeper understanding of that time period and shows the importance of inclusion.

This book tells the story of Ruby Bridges, one of the first ever Black children to be allowed in a “white school“ after integration was enforced in the 1960's. This autobiography tells us Bridges personal perspective and gives the reader a sense of triumph as she keeps her head up high.

I Am Ruby Bridges | Ruby Bridges

This book would be a great read for students in kindergarten up to middle school. I have personally read this to my last semester placement 2nd graders and they all had so many questions after reading it. It allows students to enter the world of someone with differences in a different time period and see their hardships and challenges and how they overcame them (or are still working towards them) for a more equitable experience.

This is a children's autobiography book written by Ruby Bridges. The book goes over her story of being one of the first black children to attend an all white school. We get to see from her point of view the difficulties and hardships in her education and homelife and how she had obstacles to overcome but also support in her journey for equity.

I Am Ruby Bridges | Ruby Bridges

This is a biography about a girl named Ruby Bridges. She was African American and the oldest of 5 children. She was the first colored girl to attend an all white elementary school. She attended first grade at Williams Frantz Elementary school. During this time in history black and white people did not attend the same schools. Her movement paved the way for the Civil Rights action in the south.

I WAS SHOCKED TO LEARN this is one of the books in the Banned Books conversation. Read and learn about Dr. Carter G. Woodson, Father of Black History Month! Reading is knowledge, Knowledge is Power! I believe NO books should be in the banned books conversation!

#TemptingTitles Day 1: #WithSong by Ella Fitzgerald no less. The pages are overflowing with vivid sharply-edged illustrations of a boy who has lost his “yellow basket.” This is truly a beautiful tribute to “The First Lady of Song” herself, Ella Fitzgerald. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-90
