Summary: Gigantic Courage in a Pint-Sized body
Comment: Ruby Bridges was only 6-years-old when she breached southern prejudice in Louisiana. Her courage and dependence on God is an inspiration to anyone facing religious or racial prejudice.

Summary: Teacher's recommendation!
Comment: I show this video to my high school freshman when we work on our To Kill a Mockingbird unit. They love it and it truly shows how difficult desegregation was for the US.
I am so glad I found this video!

Summary: Worth watching
Comment: A good movie to understand the atmosphere in the south in the 1960s. I'd recommend you read the book, or read about Ruby's life, first. Like most Disney movies, Ruby Bridges wraps up with a nice, don't-they-all-get-along kind of ending. In reality, it was 2 years before Ruby played with any kids at the school, and her teacher was fired at the end of the year.
Also pleasing - the family's faith is portrayed accurately, and the power of Ruby's constant prayer is not edited out.
A great film for our family. Recommended!

Summary: A Great Classroom Tool!
Comment: I've been teaching for ten years and use Ruby Bridges each year when discussing racial integration and prejudice. I've finally purchased my own copy. This is a moving film that really reaches children and adults alike. Be aware that the "N" word is used on two occasions and the angry mob outside of Ruby's school says terrible things to her. One woman suggests she will poison Ruby and later shows Ruby a small coffin. While that sounds harsh, it is an appropriate movie for 4th grade and up (with guidance). This movie accurately shows the reprecussions for everyone involved in this act of bravery. I would highly recommend it for your home or classroom.

Summary: History in video
Comment: This is an excellent video for sharing history with young children. It is a great teaching tool that can lead to reading about other historical events that involve the lives of young children.
