On November 14, 1960, at the age of six, Ruby Bridges became the first black child to integrate an all-white school in New Orleans. Escorted by federal marshals past angry segregationist protesters, young Ruby attended William Frantz Elementary and earned a place in civil rights history. Sixty years later, Ruby has written an impassioned letter to young people engaging in the fight for racial equality. Her words, a call to action imbued with love and grace, are paired with black-and-white photographs from then-and now. This Is Your Time will inspire readers as the struggle for liberty and justice for all continues, and the powerful legacy of Ruby Bridges endures.

She was born in Mississippi in 1954, the same year the United States Supreme Court handed down its land¬mark decision ordering the integration of public schools. Her family later moved to New Orleans, where on November 14, 1960, Bridges began at¬tending William Frantz Elementary School. This Is Your Time is her first book in over twenty years, following the publication of her award-winning autobiography, Through My Eyes.
