Black people couldn't vote but then white people decided to allow them to vote. No beginning, no middle, and a happy ending with redemption for white people.

Ruby Bridges encountered a "large crowd of angry white people who didn't want Black children in a white school" - in her own words about her own experience.

But she didn't tell the part about the white people riding in on a white horse to save her?

Mustn't tell that story. Little Suzie Q Whitegirl and Junior T Whiteboy might have to deal with the ugly facts of racism.

Can't have that.
