When bright six-year-old Ruby is chosen to be the first African-American student to integrate her local New Orleans elementary school, she is subjected to the true ugliness of racism for the very first time. But guided by the love of her mother (Lela Rochon) and father (Michael Beach), Ruby's heroic struggle for a better education becomes a lesson for us all. (official distributor synopsis)
