@abcnewslive: "What really protected me was the innocence of a child." Civil Rights activist Ruby Bridges made history at just six years old as the first Black student to attend a formerly whites-only school in 1960 Louisiana, an experience she is recounting in her latest book, "Ruby Bridges: A Talk with My Teacher."

Teachers are the most valuable, impactful and under recognized and underpaid people out there.

I was chosen as a maypole dancer at my schools spring carnival when I was in 5th grade. My mom couldn’t afford the dress. My teacher made me a beautiful white dress. I have never forgotten that.
