Ruby Bridges was just six years old when she made history as the first Black student to integrate an elementary school in the South. In “I Am Ruby Bridges,” she tells the story of that day. Moderated by Andrea Davis Pinkney. Bridges is unable to appear in-person; their recorded interview airs onscreen and Pinkney will be there live to answer questions.
