Thanks to her good grades, Ruby is chosen to be a pioneer in the fight against the walls of segregation. Throughout her first year of school with white children, this courageous little black girl is escorted by four federal police officers through a crowd of angry white protesters outside the school. Miss Henry, Ruby's teacher in Boston, works with Ruby because none of the regular teachers will have anything to do with her. Thanks to the hard work of those who advised Ruby to attend the white school and the determination of Ruby, Miss Henry and Mr. and Mrs. Bridges, Ruby overcame discrimination, racism, prejudice, stereotypes and educational equality. facing going into schools every day was horrible. The protesters shouted nasty and very hurtful things at him. Discrimination is motivated by prejudice. Protesters used black discrimination to try to deny Ruby the right to attend a white school. Racism was a significant factor in protesters' decision to yell nasty things at Ruby. Whites believed themselves superior to blacks; therefore, not allowing Ruby into "their" school. The prejudice shown towards Ruby was unjustified. White people have shown tremendous prejudice towards Ruby, even though they don't know Ruby. They don't understand the kind, well-behaved little girl Ruby is. When the protesters look at Ruby, all they see is the color of her skin. Ruby was stereotyped by people outside of school. The hurtful things they shouted at him were motivated by stereotypical ideas. They based their opinions on Ruby without knowingly and with an open mind understanding what Ruby was. Instead, they made an inaccurate judgment based on the color of his skin. This film is a perfect example of educational inequalities in the years 1960..
