I chose this character because if Ruby Bridges had not attended the all-white school, we might still be facing segregation today. Ruby Bridges changed everything the moment she stepped into that school. Despite being only six years old, she displayed immense bravery, even in the face of threats to her safety at the all-white school. Ruby Bridges was the first African American child to desegregate William Frantz Elementary School, inspiring many children to follow her example. Ruby became a symbol of the fight for desegregation.
