"On November 14, 1960, a 6-year-old girl walked into William J. Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans. That seemingly mundane moment would shake the community and change the city forever.
Path to Integration:
Before a first-grader named Ruby Bridges entered that school, the state of Louisiana had tried to stop her and other black students from enrolling in all-white schools. After the Supreme Court's 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision mandated desegregation of public schools, Louisiana and many Southern states passed laws to close schools facing racial integration. After those laws were overturned by the federal courts, the day finally came when the promise of Brown v. Board of Education would be met in New Orleans."
