A chilly school day as Miss Jones arrived
her hat and coat
in her hands
Students

her eyes tear
in great surprise 
as she warmed from the precious notes...

 why she needs
  this protection
 on her first day of school, she kept her poise
 As the crowd taunted her with...

Flanked by four marshals, Ruby walked to school.
She was called names
yet she walked
and walked
tall
for
many
black children
who have a dream
to walk wherever, without four marshals.

a
portrait
of courage.
watched like a hawk;
carrying weight of her race on shoulders,
confident black girl walks to all-white school

of the
past.

simple
walk from home
to all white school
was needed to break segregation rule
fate chose little Bridge to brave that first walk
in her school frock
freedom won

Miss
Arrives
To find that
Her wooden desk
Is covered with apples, flowers and gifts

Adore her

great wisdom
from dear mentor
who was our caring, loving Mom in school.

lives.

How all the children loved their last teacher.
First day her feast.
Could not clap

gifts.
For

was someone
they did not know.
A brand new teacher had arrived for...

apples, roses, cards, and gifts are neatly
placed in a straight 
row on the
teacher’s
desk
and
scanning
her students
she rewards them
with a genuine happy birthday smile

Mrs. Hill, who had chastised the children
For laughing so
Rowdily
wildly
she 
saw
They were
Kind children
Who gave from their
Hearts, these brilliant wishes for happiness

Ruby was so excited about her
first day at school
and making
friends, couldn't
see

Why
she had
to have strange
man walk her to
school, none of the other children had too
