| Hey, what's your name? I'm Emmett Till. | |

| I'm Ruby Bridges. Nice to meet you. | |

| I just came down south from Chicago to spend my summer in Mississippi. Do you live around here? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| No. I'm just passing through Mississippi on the way to New Orleans. | |

| It sure does feel funny being in the south. The white people are always looking at me. When I ask for directions they just stare at me and walk away, like I'm a brick wall. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| I know what you mean. I've just learned to mind my own business, but it's hard. I just want to get a good education, but they won't let me go to school with the white folks. I don't understand it. | |
