Tessie Prevost, pioneer of Deep South school desegregation, dies at 69

Tessie Prevost, center, and 7-year-old Elan Jolie Hebert are escorted by U.S. Marshal Michael Atkins up the steps of McDonogh 19 Elementary School as Prevost was escorted in 1960, during a New Orleans 61st anniversary ceremony in 2021. Prevost was one of the first African-American women who integrated the all-white public schools in New Orleans.

Tessie Prevost was one of the young Black girls who integrated New Orleans public schools in the 1960s after federal courts forced the system to abide by the Brown vs. the Board of Education ruling.
