St. Pete school will continue showing movie about Civil Rights icon

A Disney movie about a civil rights icon will not be banned at a Pinellas County elementary school. The movie, “Ruby Bridges,” shows the bravery and perseverance six-year-old Bridges needed as she integrated an all-white elementary school in New Orleans in 1960. A group of teachers at North Shore Elementary in St. Petersburg has used the film to educate second graders in a lesson plan about difference makers.
