William Frantz Elementary School – US Civil Rights Trail

William Frantz Elementary School

In 1960, 6-year-old Ruby Bridges became the first Black student to attend previously all-white William Frantz Elementary School.

Although the school is now closed down, there are historical markers and a statue of Ruby Bridges outside of the school that can be viewed.
