New Orleans desegregation documentary: How 6-year-old girls integrated schools (civil rights series)
(This short documentary is a production of Roaming History. No association to other media projects on related events.)
You’ve likely heard of Ruby Bridges, the 6-year-old civil rights pioneer who desegregated a school in New Orleans. But many don’t know the equally courageous actions of three Black girls who simultaneously integrated another school in that city.
This civil rights documentary paints a bigger picture of the girls' story. It shows how they overcame racism, how they expanded civil rights in the Jim Crow South, and how one of them reclaimed and repurposed the very building that once kept her away.
We take you inside the school formerly known as McDonogh 19 to show you how Leona Tate transformed it into a welcoming institution called the TEP Center, which celebrates Black history.
We also explore William Frantz elementary school, now called Akili Academy, for a look at the iconic room where Ruby Bridges was educated by her White teacher Mrs. Barbara Henry.
Our civil rights film is made for everyone - history buffs, teachers, AP students and the curious minded - and can be consumed at any time. It’s a timeless tale of a crucial chapter in US history.

Thank you kindly!
HELL NO?!??!?! NOT GUILTY..... NOT GUILTY!?? WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!
THIS IS AMERICA THE GREAT.😮
NO WONDER AMERICA IS BEGINNING TO REAP WHAT IT HAS SOWED. KARMA IS REAL. 😢 KARMA IS JUST BEGINNING. 😢😢
THAT EMMETT TILL CASE IN COURT WAS A JOKE TO BLACKS.
WE BLACKS SHOULD KNOW THIS STORY WILL NEVER HIT THE AMERICA'S HISTORY BOOKS. NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER!!!!
WHY DID BLACKS GO WHERE THEY WERE NOT WANTED? 😢
THIS IS THE REAL TRUE AMERICAN HISTORY THATS NOT TOLD.
I NEVER HAVE UNDERSTOOD WHY BLACKS WANTED TO HAVE A SIT IN AT A RESTAURANT THAT DIDN'T SERVE BLACKS. I THOUGHT THIS WAS A SILLY THING THAT BLACKS DID. BLACKS SHOULD GO WHERE THEY ARE NOT WANTED BY ANOTHER HUMAN RACE ESPECIALLY CAUCASIANS. 😊
BLACKS should not go where not WANTED. 😊
Nothing has changed 😮😮😮
This heinous act was committed against a child.
A bright life taken far too soon.
Imagine being so petty that you literally close your place early just to get someone to leave 🤦♂️
Yeah, it’s beyond despicable
Its so hard to study history without tearing up😢
It can be both heartbreaking and inspirational
Rest ET🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
Amen 🙏
Emmett studdered he was whistling to speak thss was inneccary.
This is the History nour Woke Scholars are trying to teach and the Close minded Politicians are so afraid of !
Not guilty???? Why does that not surprise me 🤷♀️
I pray Emmett is at peace now with our Lord and his mama and let us never forget
Amen 🙏
Good morning God bless AMEN 🙏 ❤❤❤ my condolences to you and your family R.I.P love 🎈🎈🎈🎈
Well nothing has changed, only difference is that women are used as political weapons now.
God bless his mother for having the courage to put out those pictures. That poor woman. Such a heartbreaking story
I am a white woman raised in California- I went back to college in 1997 at age 40 - this was the first I had ever heard of of this tragedy- and it made me angry it happened and angry it was not taught in school! Thank you for posting - young people need to know -
Thank you! Agreed. This story needs to be more widely known. Thank you for watching!
What is not mentioned is that his body was thrown into a river or creek where it remained to bloat until he was found. His mother insisted on an open casket funeral so all could see what was done to him. It brought white men and women to tears, kick-starting the outrage. You can find pictures online quite easily, but I warn you, it's gruesome.
Feel free to watch our full length documentary on this topic here: th-cam.com/video/oGUwYzgGamU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=A5NAWa9wFqE5hPfN
Guess he shouldn't have whistled at someones wife in the first place. The rest is an atrocity though...
This just breaks my heart. Astonishing how people can be so evil.
True. It's also astonishing how Emmett's mother could be so courageous after his death. Feel free to watch our full-length documentary on that: th-cam.com/video/oGUwYzgGamU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=8NeFg8tLJ1HawuOo
Yes, she beyond courageous. I’ve seen the movie or documentary done about Emmit Till. It’s sad to know that ignorance can lead a man to be so evil to another human being much less a child.
This boys story is very haunting. My grandmother knew his mother. She was there when the he was retrieved after being shipped back to Chicago and also went to the funeral. My great aunt and uncle on my mother’s side also went to the funeral. My co worker was a student of his mother’s ( Mamie was a teacher.) I lived around the corner and down the street from the cemetery he was buried in. When they exhumed him the neighborhood traffic was on gridlock and it was hard to get around for days. To much press and lookie loos driving through slow. I will never watch the movies or any documentaries. Its to much. The details are too traumatizing. His father was unalived under similar circumstances overseas.
Wow. Your family bore witness to history. I can’t imagine what it was like to live in those times. Thank you for sharing.
The men who tortured/killed that young man were definitely the two on trial? If that is the case, then wtf!!!
They were. After they were acquitted, they admitted to killing him.
@@RoamingHistory Okay, thank-you for responding. I figured as much. Man, what a tragedy.
Thanks for showing history and not getting political with it. All the people involved have passed away.
Thank you for watching!
💔💔💔
A time of ignorance
The injustice continues America first
How? 😭😭😭
@@DerMeisterEdits I feel your pain. Nevertheless.
Rod Serling's unholy inspiration for twilight zone.
This is a SIN that America has to pay for.😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Cold hearted ❄️,
💔
I think I saw this event in a movie . Being from the UK I didn’t realise it was based on a true story . It’s absolutely mind boggling to me that a kid could be tortured like that and lynched for whistling at a woman . That poor kid and his poor family , good god . The men got away with it as well , utterly sickening.
Welcome to America. Injustice for all.
Exactly. The full story is even more eye-opening. Feel free to watch our documentary on it, too: th-cam.com/video/oGUwYzgGamU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=8NeFg8tLJ1HawuOo
@@RoamingHistory thank you . When I first saw the movie I thought there’s no way this could be true , it was that bad . I couldn’t believe it when I realised this actually happened and to a kid as well . What a world
Dam shame he was hung for cat calling just ahead of his time I guess
I’m from Mississippi and was born there a little over a year after the tragic Emmett Till incident and that one incident made it hard to return to that state after my military service. I have lived there only five years since leaving for the military in 1976.
No lie. We sometimes felt nervous when we filmed in that state. But there were good people around, too. Especially the folks at the Emmett Till Memorial Commission. Feel free to watch our full-length documentary on all of this: th-cam.com/video/oGUwYzgGamU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=8NeFg8tLJ1HawuOo
The book of Deuteronomy 32:35 The Book of Ezekiel 25:17 The Book of Romans 12:19
Those men might have got away from mans justice but in the end they had to face gods justice . No wriggling out of that one
@@aegontargaryen9322Amen to that.
🙏💯
😢 this was so heartbreaking 😢 .the justice system isnt any better .how many innocent men sitting in jail for decades? Theres no justice jusl.only money n corruption 😢this young man couldn't be protected by his mom n dad 😢what happened to him 😢just awful
Emmett’s mother, seeing her child after what those white men did. How heart wrenching.
Yes. What that poor mother went through was truly heartbreaking. And the brave way she responded was incredibly inspiring.
My dad was 5 😅his sister would’ve barely been younger than till.
The open casket is what brought this to Americas attention. So sad that this happened. Yet it continues to happen in the form of MAGA. Vote Blue 2024!!!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️
If you think democrats aren't racist you're not paying attention. You are being played by both sides, and it's working
What a horrible take lmao. Democratic policies have destroyed the black community. Biden literally said black people were animals and if they didnt vote for him they werent really black😂
Just for anyone, Carolyn Bryant, the woman who accused Emmet Till. She never recanted her story, not in her deathbed and not in an interview with a historian. The FBI came investigating the incident and she clammed up.
I was watching a happy video, scrolled, saw this (I’m a history guy), and my heart probably slowed to 2 heart beats a minute P.S. This is before I watch the full video
Thank you for keeping our history alive! Your work is greatly appreciated!
Thank you for watching, Dhimani! We look forward to your documentary, too!
Mississippi State dangerous!
Torture Chamber! Disgusting! Horrific! How could you let your Nephew be Kidnapped?! Terrible!
I mean I could see them roughing him up a little bit to let him know what he did was wrong but they went a bit too far I mean they had a good business going at the store and after that nobody came there any more to shop they really hurt themselves bad by killing him
