think about civil rights icons like thurgood marshall, dr. who led historic marches, protests and boycotts. dr. king's house was bombed, police chief pulled a gun on thurgood marshall. they both received piles of hate mail and countless death threats but they kept on fighting. think about those nine young men and women who faced down an angry mob just to attend school in little rockarand that was ju. for months afterwards, they were spat on, punched, tripped as they walked down the hall. classmates threw food at them in the cafeteria and hurled ink at them during class. but they kept on showing up. they kept claiming their rightful place at that school. , justabout ruby bridges six years old when she became one of the first black children in new orleans to attend an all- white school. pulled theirlly children out of that school of protest. people retaliated against her family. her father lost his job and only one teacher at that entire school would agree to teach her. but the bridges family refused to back down. so for an entire year, ruby sa
