Fascinating Photos Collected From History

Ruby Bridges, the first African-American to attend a white elementary school in the deep South, 1960

There’s something about this photograph that speaks more than just history. Ruby Bridges, a six-year-old girl, escorted by federal marshals, is walking down those school steps like a warrior stepping off the battlefield. Only her battlefield wasn’t marked by bullets or bayonets, but by jeers and hatred from those who clung to a segregated world.

The marshals, dressed in somber suits, are there to protect her, not from gunfire, but from the idea that a single Black child could challenge the status quo of an entire society.

Confessions From Former Gifted Kids

1. I was labeled gifted and talented in school way back. Most adults would tell me that I am very gifted and intelligent. I was given fine opportunities in art, music and business. I thought that I could do anything very quickly and efficiently. I also have ADHD and ASD.

I got into a pretty good university at 20 years old. During the second year I started falling behind. I was quite heavily bullied in school so I started to get socially anxious. I ultimately dropped out after 4 years. I started smoking weed to my anxiety and depression not understanding that it made everything worse.
