Read the paragraph from the article.

When Bridges was in kindergarten, she was one of many African-American students chosen to take a test. The test would determine whether or not she could attend a white school. It is said that the test would be very difficult so that students would have a hard time passing. That way, New Orleans schools might be able to stay segregated, or separated by race, for a while longer. Bridges lived a mere five blocks from an all-white school, but attended kindergarten several miles away, at an all-black segregated school.
