Because racial segregation in public schools were put to an end by the federal courts.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Through My Eyes" is an autobiography of Ruby Bridges in which she shares about her experience of becoming the first young black student to attend an all-white school. Ruby, when was six-year-old, faced racial turmoil in her school. She attended an integrated school, William Frantz Public School, New Orleans, Louisiana, making her to be the first African-American student to attend an all-white school.

In her memoir, she shares that she was able to attend the school because federal courts ordered to put an end on the segregation in public schools.

Case of Brown vs Board of Education was being fought in the Supreme Court, in which the court decided to promote desegregation in the public schools of the US.
