For as long as I can remember I always introduced civil rights in my classroom using the book, The Story of Ruby Bridges. My first graders always related to Ruby and were so shocked at how she was treated. Some great conversations were sparked through the reading of her story. As we enter Black History Month I urge you to spark those conversations with your students no matter what grade you teach. Here is a video of a Read Aloud of the book!
