Segregation in a Louisiana school

Ruby Bridges was the first black girl to go to an only white school.

She wanted to be like rich people so she had a pink ribbon, a pink dress, a pink school bag. She was elegant with a coordinated outfit.

She wanted to make a good first impression but she was stressed out. It was her first time, she was alone, people were protesting in front of the school and they insulted her.

  • didn’t have school -> happy
