Through My Eyes

Written by Ruby Bridges

The autobiography of Ruby Bridges, who recounts what happened in November of 1960, when she became the first African-American child to attend an elementary school in New Orleans. Only six years old, Ruby writes about being escorted by federal marshals and being taught separately from the other children. Eventually she figures out why she is so isolated.
