Ruby Bridges

---

When six year old Euby Bridges entered school in November 1960, she stepped straight into history. Selected to become one of the first African American students to attend a previously white only public elementary school, Ruby finds that kindergarten is anything but easy. She is met by an angry mob on the first day of school and abandoned in class as protesting parents remove their children from school. Harvard psychologist Robert Coles volunteers to work with this remarkable child. Together, they brave the prejudice of the threatening crowds and pave the way for other African Americans to receive a good public education.The movie is the winner of 1998 Humanitas Award.
