Little Ruby Bridges And Her U.S. Marshal Escorts
It’s amazing how a little girl helped in the civil rights movement. Ruby Bridges was the first black student to enter a desegregated elementary school in the South. The federal marshals needed to escort her to class for her own safety even though her home was only several blocks away from the school. The little girl had to deal with racists every day. White parents wanted to pull their kids out of her classes if she studied with them. Several years later, she graduated from a desegregated high school. She started the Ruby Bridges Foundation to help promote change and tolerance.

A German Soldier In His Dugout During The Great War
The war was a massive trench fight. In the Civil War, soldiers dug trenches to provide defense and give them a place to fight from. In Belgium and northern France, soldiers had to stay in the trenches for weeks on end. The true mass casualties from the war were from the trenches. As a result, soldiers had to rise from the ditches to engage the enemy. Unfortunately, it was an open field with little cover, and they were killed as they hid.
