Question

I was the first African American child to attend an all white public elementary school in the American South. Who am I?

Answer 1

You are likely referring to Ruby Bridges. In 1960, at the age of six, she became the first African American child to integrate an all-white elementary school in the South when she attended William Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans, Louisiana. Her courageous actions were pivotal in the civil rights movement and helped to challenge the segregation of schools in America.
