U.S. Marshals with Young Ruby Bridges on School Steps

Khamisi

By Khamisi

On November 14, 1960, Ruby Bridges is escorted from her first day of school as a first grader at William Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans by U.S. Marshals. On this day, at just 6-years-old, Bridges became the first African-American to attend the formerly White-only school. Her story is depicted in the 1998 biographical film Ruby Bridges.
