I need to look for "The Story of Ruby Bridges" for my kids. It would be so good for them and I think they would like learning about Ruby. She looks like such a beautiful girl in that picture of her being escorted by marshals. This sounds like such a great book. I need to look for “The Story of Ruby Bridges” for my kids.

Which, I guess, is one reason why I love reading! Ladytink_534 - Oh wow. I heard mention on her website about trying to rebuild New Orleans. I didn't think of the school though. I do know it's pretty inner-city now. Hardly any white kids there. Lauren - You're right! She should have been able to smile.

That poor little girl. I heard that the school she went to was damaged during Katrina and that she was trying to help rebuild it. MSN has a video interview of it. What a wonderful story!

Wow. It's really hard to believe our country was that way not very long ago. I want to read the children's story to my kids. Thank you so much for shedding light on Ruby Bridges! Wow.

I'm keen on photo essays. Always enjoyed them. Chris - I have the DVD on hold at the library now. I'm curious to see how it is. That's what I don't understand about those people - couldn't they see how unbelievably mean they were? How could they sleep at night? M - Thanks for that recommendation. After reading your review, I'm going to have to add it to my list. Nancy - Why thank you. Michelle - I thought the video was excellent, thus why I included it! Nicole Marie - How funny! Well, it is Black History Month, is it not?! I have The Story of Ruby Bridges ready to be picked up at the library. Hopefully, I'll be able to review it this month.
