Reading Response

When Ruby arrived at William Frantz, white parents took their children out of the school because they didn’t want them to be in class with a black girl. Ruby was the only student in her first grade class. Her teacher, Mrs. Henry, was white. Ruby spent all day in Mrs. Henry’s classroom because it wasn’t safe for Ruby to go to the cafeteria or playground. But Ruby’s community slowly accepted integration. When Ruby got to second grade, she was no longer the only student in her class. There were other black and white students. This was a good effect, or result, of Ruby integrating the school. However, some bad things happened to Ruby’s family because they sent Ruby to William Frantz. Ruby’s father lost his job. Ruby’s mother was turned away from the grocery store, and her grandparents were forced to leave their farm. Which of these was a result of Ruby integrating her school?

• She was the only student in her first and second grade classes.

• Black and white students attended first grade with Ruby.

• Ruby never met Mrs. Henry

• Black and white students attended second grade with Ruby.
