The Little Rock Nine and Ruby Bridges: a story of school segregation in the USA

Abstract

During segregation, colored people and white people were separated in many places like in buses, in churches, in restaurants and even in school. When segregation was abolished in 1956, those kinds of separations were now illegal. However, many of people did not accept that black people were allowed to frequent the old white establishment, and they were often protestation of segregationist. This is what happened in the city of Little Rock the capital of the Arkansas state.
