(2) 4-6 Bridges relates her story far more powerfully than has anyone else to date. After establishing a context for her place in the history of the civil rights movement, she lets her childhood memories, rather than her adult perceptions, drive the narrative, and emerges as an understandable and sympathetic young girl. Although the tangential boxed information is distracting and the photos are an uneven mix, Ruby's strong voice commands attention.
