Disney has struck gold twice!, 28 February 2000
Author: scoobyg69 (scoobyg69@aol.com) from United States

Disney has done it again. Several years ago, they have captured the real life drama of the intergration at Little Rock Central High school with the powerful film, "The Ernest Green Story." Now, they have struck gold twice with this equaling stirring true-life story of Ruby Bridges, the little black girl who successfully intergrated an all white school in New Orleans in the midst of riots, and hate mongers. This incredible tale is not JUST about racial differences, but it is also a testimony to the strength and power of God that little Ruby puts her faith in for help. Powerful performances by all. This is a MUST-SEE! Thank you Disney, for giving us a positive film about strength, courage, and the power of God.
