On November 14, 1960, a crowd of angry citizens gathered to protest the racial integration of William Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans. They specifically came to protest against one Black student, Ruby Bridges, who was joining for her first day. Flanked by four federal marshals, she bravely walked into the classroom as onlookers shouted slurs and threats. Photos of the event, along with a Norman Rockwell painting inspired by the day, spread, making Ruby Bridges a national icon for the civil rights movement.
