Location: Newport News, Virginia
Time: 11:00 p.m.
Description: I was talking to my parents in my room, and I happened to look at the picture they've had on their wall all this time. It's a Norman Rockwell painting portraying the hardships of Ruby Bridges. She even signed it, when we went to a Black History conference. Ruby Bridges was a black girl who chose to attend a white public school despite the racism and prejudice in those times. A true pioneer on the front lines of the Civil Rights Movement, I aspire to make a difference in some type of politics , sometime in my life. She, and others in her time, paved the way to provide me, and others in my time, a chance to make a difference in our future.
