Even though, No one should be mistreated and hear bad things about them because of the color of their skin, in the South, segregation was really bad, blacks had no equal rights. Blacks were treated badly for trying to bring whites and blacks together. Blacks and Whites also had different laws, such as the Jim Crow Laws that made them unequal. Blacks couldn 't go where whites were but whites could go where blacks were. In November of 1960, Ruby Bridges was going to be the first African-American child to go to an all white school.

Ruby finally went to class and she was the only kid in the classroom, by herself.
