This week I have read 'Through My Eyes' by Ruby Bridges. This biography is an incredible story about a six year old who became the first African American student to attend an all-white school in New Orleans, Louisiana. because she was so young (6 years old) she was naive and did not find it unusual that she was the only 'different' looking child in her class at school. This is an incredible story into the life of someone who was in an are where racial discrimination was a constantly occurring problem.
This text would be intended for students year 5 or older. It can introduce multiculturalism in a class and looks at a different perspective of such a controversial topic.
