ATTENTION
ALL TEACHERS AND STUDENTS!
Ruby Bridges is developing a new book entitled Through Their Eyes, meaning
a look at racism through the eyes of students.
If you are a student (or are the teacher of students and would like
to introduce them to this project) and would like to participate, please
write Ruby Bridges with thoughts on Racism and race
relations in our country today. If you’ve been touched by Ruby’s
book, Through My Eyes or have had the opportunity to hear Ruby
speak at your school, what were you views before and what are your views
now? We’d love to hear your thoughts on these subjects - through
your eyes!
Please
send letters to:
Ruby Bridges
P.O. Box 870248

Who
knows? Maybe you’ll be lucky enough to have your letter published in this new
book!
Inside you will find a vast amount of information
about Ruby
Bridges' life and living legacy.
"Our Ruby taught us all a lot. She became someone
who helped change our country. She was part of history,
just like generals and presidents are part of history.
They're leaders, and so was Ruby. She led us away from
hate, and she led us nearer to knowing each other,
the white folks and the black folks."
~ Ruby's Mother
