None of you is born into the world racist. It is we adults who pass racism on. In so many ways, we have failed you by not setting the example you deserve."-Ruby Bridges, This Is Your Time

"When I arrived at this all-white school that first day, all the white parents rushed in and pulled out their kids. They didn't want their children going to school with me. But why? I didn't understand. They had never met or even seen me before now, so how could they know what kind of person I was? But none of that mattered. I don't think they even saw a child. All they saw was the color of my skin. I was black, and that meant I didn't matter."-Ruby Bridges, This Is Your Time
