We are also going to watch a movie about a brave little black girl who attempted to go to a white school and met terrible resistance from other students, teachers, and the whole town. Have you ever heard of Ruby Bridges? The movie about her is on YouTube here.
I hope you can get some good use from these resources.
"Oh that God would give every mother a vision of the glory and splendor of the work that is given to her when a babe is placed in her bosom to be nursed and trained! Could she have but one glimpse in to the future of that life as it reaches on into eternity; could she look into its soul to see its possibilities; could she be made to understand her own personal responsibility for the training of this child, for the development of its life, and for its destiny,--she would see that in all God's world there is no other work so noble and so worthy of her best powers, and she would commit to no other's hands the sacred and holy trust given to her." -JR Miller
