Fifth-grader Natalie Earley, 11, stands still as she represents Ruby Bridges, the first black child to attend an all-white elementary school in the South, during the American History Wax Museum where dozens of students dressed as historical figures Wednesday at Woodcrest Elementary School. "Standing here, waiting for people to talk to me — it's pretty embarrassing," she said. "Once they come up to you, you can talk about your story. I really like dressing up, and to be her, it's really a good experience."
