description: Written as a letter from civil rights activist and icon Ruby Bridges to the reader This Is Your Time is both a recounting of Rubys experience as a child who had to be escorted to class by federal marshals when she was chosen to be one of the first black students to integrate into New Orleans all-white public school system and an appeal to generations to come to effect change. This volume features photographs from the 1960s and from today as well as jacket art from The Problem We All Live With the 1964 painting by Norman Rockwell depicting Rubys walk to school.
