Learning From Ruby Bridges

In 1960, a 6 year-old black girl walked through the doors of an all-white school in New Orleans. Ruby Bridges was greeted by stares, jeers, and threats of violence. 50 years later her display of courage fascinates child psychiatrist Robert Coles, who tells Bridges’ story in his new book Handing One Another Along. Produced by Pejk Malinovski and Georgette Pierre.
