It was black students like little <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RubyBridges" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RubyBridges</a> who needed protection from both "protesters" AND the government (that was baring their entry.)Sorry for the (slight) error.

Mayor David NewmanOn a beautiful morning, a huge crowd of Acacia Magnet School students and parents turned out for the Ruby Bridges Walk in honor of Black History Month.When she was 6 years old in 1960, Ruby Bridges’ parents volunteered to have her be the first African-American student to attend a segregated public school in New Orleans. Despite threats so serious that she required the protection of US marshals, Ruby calmly walked past the haters all year to get an education, setting an example for generations to follow.
