Ruby Bridges, the little black girl who was integrated into a previously all-white school during the Sixties, was kind because she had a great deal of compassion for other people. And she wasn't only kind, she had a very rare kind of courage, the kind shown by Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr.

Although she was taunted and cursed at by white community members who didn't want their children to go to school any black children, she never yelled back or showed any kind of anger. When she was asked about it, she said that she didn't hate those people, she pitied them. (She is one of my heroes!)
