Ruby Bridges did not engage in protests in the traditional sense, but she became a symbol of the Civil Rights Movement when, at just six years old, she was the first African American student to integrate an all-white elementary school in New Orleans in 1960. Her courage in facing hostility and opposition while attending William Frantz Elementary School was a form of protest against segregation and racism. Ruby's actions, supported by her family and civil rights activists, highlighted the need for change in the educational system and society as a whole.
