We watched a movie in class called the Ruby Bridges Movie. This movie I thought was very saddening. It was about a girl named Ruby bridges like the title. She lived in a time where Black people were treated very unfairly this took place in the 1960's. Ruby took an education test to see if she was a higher level than the other black students in her school.She had got very good marks on the test so she went to the intergrated school,called William Frantz school. There was one thing that she had to deal with: segragationist's,protesters and rude people. She also was the only person in her class which must have been pretty sad! :( on the way to school she also got driven to and from school by Marshalls which protected her from angry protesters! Since this happend her father got fired because his kid went to an intergrated school which I find pretty sad.Luckily Ruby had a Teacher from the North her name was Mrs.Henry. Most people from the North did not belive in segragation so she was nice to Ruby.On the first day of the year all cars were blocked passing the school in one of those cars was a "doctor" he saw what Ruby went through and wanted to help her.His name was dr. Coles.throughout the year he met the NAACP which was a black peoples company he asked them about Ruby. Then he met here and i think every week he visited Ruby and inter viewed her to see how she was dealing with the protesters.they went through the year then Mrs Henry invited the other gr. 1 class over to meet Ruby.This made the other Teacher realise that Ruby was not bad at all.So then at Rubys home her Dad gets a new job of painting houses! Now most of the protesters are gone and Ruby finally gets to play outside with the other class that now realises Ruby is a good friend.
