Ruby Bridges - the recap

Hi guys,

today we continued speaking about segregation and desegregation. We watched the full extract from the movie "Ruby Bridges". You can watch it again below (and the rest of the film if you want to):

Here is what we wrote as the recap of the lesson:

Blacks weren't accepted by whites. Whites were shocked by a black little girl who went to a school originally reserved for whites.
It was the first black family who accepted the new law.
Before, it was forbidden for blacks to go to school together with whites in the south (cf. the scene takes place in New Orleans, Louisiana)
Everyone was aggressive with Ruby. People called her names ("jigaboo"). She had to be escorted by 4 US marshals.
