Ruby Bridges

This is a great historic movie that will never be forgotten I'm glad I found it and bought it picture and audio quality was very good I showed it to my daughter and she loved it history cannot write itself

Exactly as described! This arrived perfectly sealed in plastic. It’s such an important, inspiring movie about courage and history, so I was thrilled to find a brand-new copy. I can't wait to watch it!

Its based on a TRUE story is the caption in the beginning of the film. And the story unfolds from there. It paints the perfect picture of just how CRUEL & EVIL ALOT of SOUTHERN "WHITE PEOPLE" were even to little black children during that time. The white people during that time in The SOUTH simply seemed to see black people as "creatures" dirty, filthy, nasty creatures. And it was a complete shame & disgrace! With the exception of a few "good" white people in this movie, white people just could not imagine their white children going to school with "black children" in the first place so for it to actually be happening during this time when the whole "Brown Vs Board of Education" had previously took place & school integration was mandated. 1. There was the "Little Rock NINE" story where the 9 black students were chosen to attend an all white High School in Little Rock Arkansas. These nine students needed the MILITARY to escort them to school through out the entire day from the EVIL white kids and their equally IGNORANT RACIST parents. 2. & then there was the story of little Ruby Bridges. The little black girl that had to endure the same cruel torment each & every grueling day being escorted to school also by security. White people took their kids out of school (kids missed ALOT of school), because they didnt want their white children in the same class as a little black girl. The little black girl wouldnt eat her lunch (shed hide the lunch in the class room & pour the juice in the glue bottle) because shed hear the white people say they were going to "poison her"? How EVIL was that? REDICULOUS! Just imagine if you will being the mother or father of this sweet black little girl, having to go to this school each day & face this ANGRY mob of BIGOT white folks, who called her the most HATEFUL names, spit at her, one woman had a black doll with a rope around its neck held out as she walked by. Another day a white woman had a little black doll in a coffin. I mean My GOD! Black (african Americans) have come a very long way. The black people people who have came before us were very STRONG individuals, that literally placed their lives on the line & some have died, got beaten, water hosed down in the street like dogs, they were spit on. Just disrespected like animals. Not even animals deserve such horrific forms of cruelty. But they endured so much just for us to be able to sit where we want on a city bus (public transportation), drink from any water fountain we please. To use the same "nice-clean" rest rooms, as those mean evil white people. Every February (especially--since its black history month) I show my collection of Black History DVDs to my 11 year old daughter (since she was 8 years old) so that she can see & know the struggles black people had to face in their history. This way she can see why Barack Obama becoming the 44th president of the US was such an emotional moment for african Americans. She can understand also why Barack Obama becoming president is HISTORICAL. She saw the importance & POWER in VOTING is so important for black people today...my daughter knew of the 3 young men (1 black & 2 whites) who lost their lives in Mississipi fighting for black people to become first class citizens (Registered Voters), because of the DVD documenteries that we watched in previous years. These types of Documentaries, stories, & films, should be watched in the schools all over America. Black History is just as important as any other "History" if not more important. But since it paints such an UGLY face on the SOUTHERN White people of that time...with the KKK being heavily involved as well with the beatings, murders & lynchings of black & white people involved in the Civil Rights movement during that time. Alot of the young Generation doesnt know about Black History & what took place during that horrible & tragic time. Schools dont put enough FOCUS during February or any time of the school year on the History of Black people. & with our President being African American & really think its ashame. Sure its an UGLY History especially for the white people, but its the UGLY TRUTH that dates back to SLAVERY in America. AMERICA has a SERIOUSLY UGLY past, & it involves black people, & some good white people as well. More people should know about. If the schools are not teaching your kids this in History Class buy the DVDs and teach them on your own.

Disney's Ruby Bridges is a great movie and I show it every year when teaching about the Civil Rights movement to third graders. It requires preparation prior to showing, so I read biographies about Martin Luther King, Jr., Rosa Parks, and Ruby Bridges first so that students understand what was happening at the time, and then show the movie. The movie does a great job of conveying Ruby's experience as a 1st grader integrating an all white school in New Orleans in 1960. I had the GREAT FORTUNE of having Ruby Bridges visit our suburban NJ school in 2010 - the 50 Anniversary of this historic event. It was a valuable experience for our entire student body (2nd - 5th grades attended) and I continue to share her personal thoughts with current students. It was a day that I will remember forever!

One of my all time favorites

This was an awesome movie! As aa white person growing up in the south, it angers me to see racism still happening! I have had to deprogram the hate my family instilled into me. Today I am an activist for African American's. To me there is no color between anyone. I am still trying to understand what they have gone through. It aint right how they have been treated. Not just them but mexicans, muslims, anyone from the middle east, etc etc etc. What anger's me right now is the hate Donald Trump is inciting! Will racism ever stop? This movie gave me a great deal of understanding and a lot to think about. What a brave girl to go trough all that. There is still segregation to this day! In my hometown there are segregated swimming pool's. In the town Ilive now there are segregated graveyards. Someday maybe this nonsense will stop. I pray it does.

This is a great movie for all ages! And it’s a true story! I’m amazed at how much strength this little girl had. It’s such a shame that people of colour were treated like this especially a little child. It was a blessing she had a teacher who was willing to teach her. I often wonder whatever happened to many of those ignorant people. Hope they changed their dirty ways. The world would be a better place if we all could get along and treat each other with love and respect.

Ce film retrace fidèlement le problème de l'intégration aux Etats-Unis dans les années 60, à travers les combats d'une famille pour l'intégration de leur petite Ruby. Presque incroyable... mais vrai ! Un film qui ne peut pas nous laisser indifférents. En anglais, avec des sous-titres en espagnol.

Das hier ist wahre Geschichte! - Und das nur auf Englisch und Spanisch ?!?! Ich habe diesen Film schon in deutsch auf einem der "dritten Programme" in Deutschland gesehen (wahrscheinlich auf ARTE oder 3SAT). Ich frage mich, warum es diesen Film nicht auf deutsch gibt und dies nicht in unseren Schulbüchern stand, und höchstwahrscheinlich auch immer noch nicht in den heutigen Schulbüchern steht. Ich frage mich, wer hier die Geschichte schreibt?!?!!! Die Verlage, oder die Geschichte selbst?! Wer wirklich an der Geschichte interessiert ist, gräbt tiefer als sein Schulbuch und muss sich auch mal einen Film in englisch anschauen, weil die Verlage nur Absatzzählen darin sehen. Damit muss so jemand wie du und ich wohl oder übel leben! Diese Story/ Dieser Film ist Geschichte, wahre Geschichte! Er gehört in alle Sprachen übersetzt, damit Rassimus nie wieder überhand nimmt!!!!

A very touching, revealing story.
