Ruby Bridges said the moment she finally understood what was happening during school integration was when a little white boy told her:
“My mom said I can’t play with you because you’re a nigger.”
She was SIX.

Why the classrooms were empty.
Why adults were screaming.
Why U.S. Marshals had to escort her to school.
Not because of anything she did.
Just because of the color of her skin.
A six-year-old child realizing an entire country was angry at her for existing.
Yes that’s why i never wanna hear that shit about “my grandma and grandad were together forever/marriages used to last” YEAH GRANNY WASNT ALLOWED TO HAVE A SAVINGS ACCOUNT OR GET AN APARTMENT ON HER OWN. SHE WAS A PRISNA!
