A historical placard stands in front of William T. Frantz Elementary School commemorating that school's place in American history when six year old Ruby Bridges became the first Black to desegregate the all-white school in 1960. The site is now home to Akili Academy, a charter school. A statue of Ruby stands in the school's courtyard, while the classroom she was assigned to has been restored to the way it would have looked when she attended the school.
