Ruby Bridges' Brave Step by Latorial Faison The year was 1960 The day, November 14th When a little Black girl Was brave in New Orleans Her name was Ruby Bridges Some called her Ruby Nell She lived through segregation And gained quite a story to tell William Frantz Elementary Would never be the same It was no longer a White school The day that Ruby came On her first day of school She was so strong and proud She stepped boldly without stopping Through fiercely threatening crowds There were people filled with hatred Who told Ruby to go back home They did not want integration They taunted Ruby to make it known But little Ruby had protection Her mother, US Marshalls, and her God As she stepped into this new school Her teacher, Ms. Henry, won her heart Ruby was, sometimes, afraid But she prayed and continued on With her family, teacher, and community She weathered integration’s storm Ruby Bridges’ experience Is a significant part of history Her unwavering faith and courage Resulted in what we now see Schools all across America Integrated and diverse Children of every color and creed Learning together, breaking the curse.
