- One of the first black girls to go to an all white school in 1960 in New Orleans
- None of the white kids' parents let thier kid get taught with a black girl in the room, so she ended up getting taught in a class of one by a very nice teacher, on a different floor from everyone else at the school
- Her mom sent her to an all white school so that she could get a better education and lead on to a better job. His dad even lost his job because his boss thought that it was bad that a parent should let their black kid go to school with white kids.
- She grew up and became a travel agent, and Disney made a TV movie about him, and there was also a novel written about her, called The Story of Ruby Bridges in 1995.
