    Process Paper: 424
    We chose our topic by looking at a list of example topics. From that list, we each came up

    with our own topics that we thought were interesting. We each briefly described the topics we

    had chosen to each other, and narrowed our topics down to two: Ruby Bridges and Brown vs. the

    Board of Education. We later decided our topic would be Ruby Bridges because we were very

    interested in her story.

    We started our research on Ruby Bridges by looking at different websites, but

    only to get a general idea of what she was known for. We then got her book, Through My

    Eyes, which was by far our most important resource, and it answered many of our questions.

    We found many other books, but most of them were childrens books with a small amount of

    information. However, some of the books did have some important information. For example,

    these books were very helpful: Travels With Charley, Ruby Bridges, The Story Of Ruby

    Bridges, and Twelve Children Who Changed The World. We used many websites in our

    research as well. The most helpful website was biography.com. From there, we navigated to

    several other websites and found primary resources from the La Crosse Library and from the

    internet.

    We chose to do a website because we had both done an exhibit last year, so we

    wanted to explore new ways to present our information. We are very glad we did so because we

    learned how to use many different tools to make our website look organized and professional.

    We used our notes, other information saved on USB drives, and videos and pictures that we

    found, and uploaded it all to our website. We then used a wide variety of tools to make it easy to

    read and organized.


    The life of Ruby Bridges clearly relates to the 2017 NHD theme of Taking a

    Stand in History. Firstly, Ruby Bridges stood up for desegregation in schools and paved the way

    for future colored students by being the first African American to attend an all-white public

    school. Secondly, she inspired others to fight against segregation in schools, and she gave other

    students the courage to stand up for what they believed in. Lastly, she started the Ruby Bridges

    Foundation in 1999 to create change through education, to inspire children, and to eliminate

    racism. Therefore, the life of Ruby Bridges obviously relates to the 2017 NHD theme of Taking

    a Stand in History.
