    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.
