Ruby Bridges Dialogue.


Ruby Bridges Script:


Teacher: Wow, Ruby I can't even begin to explain how sorry I am that you have to go through what you through at such a young age.


Ruby: (with a confused look on her face) What am I going through, Mrs. Henry?


Teacher: Ruby, I know that you might try to avoid it as much as you can but dont you feel the least bit ackward walking through the mob of people looking at you weird each and every morning?


Ruby: What is so ackward about it? Doesn't it always happen to people like me?


Teacher: Yes, but still Ruby it doesn't mean it supposed to happen, the way they shout at you like your nothing in this world.


Ruby: (with another confused look) They shout at me??


Teacher: Yes....they do sweetheart.


Ruby: Oh, mmm maybe I've been praying for them so loud I just don't hear them. But I guess it's a good thing I haven't heard them say those bad words, my mama wouldn't like it.
