About Ruby Bridges
American civil rights activist
Ruby Bridges is an American civil rights activist, best known for being the first African American child to attend the formerly whites-only William Frantz Elementary School in Louisiana. Her walk into the school on November 14, 1960, became a defining moment in the New Orleans school desegregation crisis. Her experience at William Frantz Elementary made her a lasting symbol of school integration in the United States. She is also the subject of Norman Rockwell’s 1964 painting, The Problem We All Live With, which helped fix her place in the public memory of the civil rights movement.
