We forget heroes can be children. I suggest you look at the Wikipedia story of this brave girl/woman. It includes: “Every morning, as Bridges walked to school, one woman would threaten to poison her; because of this, the U.S. Marshals dispatched by President Eisenhower, who were overseeing her safety, only allowed Ruby to eat food that she brought from home. Another woman at the school put a black baby doll in a wooden coffin and protested with it outside the school, a sight that Bridges Hall has said scared me more than the nasty things people screamed at us. At her mothers suggestion, Bridges began to pray on the way to school, which she found provided protection from the comments yelled at her on the daily walks.” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_Bridges
