Small Shoes, Great Strides: How Three Brave Girls Opened Doors to School Equality
Vaunda Micheaux Nelson
On November 14, 1960, six-year-olds Leona Tate, Tessie Prevost, and Gail Etienne entered a New Orleans school that had previously admitted only white students. U.S. Marshals accompanied them as hostile protesters gathered. Their arrival made them the first at that school to end racial segregation. The account includes warm acrylic art, archival photographs, biographies, a glossary, and additional resources.
