Ruby Bridges (1998)

In the turbulent era of 1960, a beacon of courage and resilience shines through the fog of racial segregation in New Orleans. Ruby Bridges, a mere six-year-old African-American girl, dares to walk through the iron gates of an all-white school, shattering long-standing racial barriers. As the solitary black student, she finds the classrooms strangely empty, a result of white parents yanking their children out of school in protest. Undeterred by the vitriolic crowd of white citizens she faces each day, Ruby remains unbroken, her spirit unscathed by the tumultuous storm around her. Her strength is bolstered by her mother, Lucille, and her teacher, Barbara Henry, a compassionate woman from the North who dares to challenge the status quo. With each passing day, Ruby's quiet strength chips away at a century-old wall of prejudice, her presence in the school echoing as a bold statement in the throes of the civil rights movement. 'Ruby Bridges' is a poignant tale of a child's courage that forever changes the course of history, reflecting the power of resilience and the indomitable spirit of humanity.
