| Question:Question Mrs. Kimaada I am in the 10th grade at Livermore High School, Livermore, Ca. My question is; can you give me some information about Linda Bronw? Thank you Jylisa L. Williams. Answer: Under federal court order, New Orleans public schools were finally forced to desegregate. In the spring of 1960 "I took a test, along with other black kindergarteners in the city, to see who would go to an integrated school come September". "That summer my parents learned I'd passed the test and had been selected to start first grade at William Frantz Public School".This was just the begining of the long road toward equal education for children from all walks of life.Click on the picture for more information. Thank you, Ma Ma Mousso
