Abstract Ruby Bridges was just six years old when she was chosen to be the first (and only) black child in the all-white William Frantz Elementary School in 1960. At the time, Ruby was too young to understand how the simple act of attending school would change the lives of many to come. Her courageous act left the legacy that given a chance, anyone at any age can make a difference in the world.
