Ruby Bridges has become a symbol of the Civil Rights movement in New Orleans because

A. she refused to give up her seat on a bus.

B. she was the first African American to graduate from a Louisiana college.

C. she was the first African American to attend an all-white school.

D. she led peaceful protests against segregation.

Respuesta :

The answer would be C) she was the first African American to attend an all-white school.

Back in the civil rights movements, schools were separated into a school for whites and a school for colored.

Naturally all-white schools has better education.

Ruby Bridges was a smart child but she was colored. They decided Ruby should have a better education. She was going to attend an all-white school. The students of the school were told not to go to school by their parents and the parents protested outside of the school everyday. Eventually, the parents had to let their children go to school and accepted Ruby Bridges as a student.

Hope this helped! :)
