Second Revision of thesis and Introduction

Second Thesis Statement:

Nothing can be more moving than watching a small black child climbing the steps to her elementary school that historically and legally did not welcome her presence. It is my contention that Ruby Bridges help to break the barer of segregation by becoming the first black child in an all white school and she served as a inspiration because now schools are integrated.

Introduction:

In 1960, Ruby Bridges parents responded to a call from the NAACP and volunteered her to participate in the integration of the New Orleans School System. Even though there was a large crowd of people surround the outside of the school, throwing and shouting things Ruby Bridges managed to go into the school. As soon as Ruby entered the school white parents were walking in and taking there children out.
