Leona Tate visited
Gretna Middle School students on Tuesday to talk about her experience during
the Civil Rights Movement. Named "The McDonough Three", she was
one of the first students to integrate the New Orleans Public School System
along with two other students, Tessie Prevost and Gail Etienne. This
visit was made possible by a grant with the Smithsonian Museum. Ms.
Caminita (Library Media Specialist) & Ms. Phillips (ELA Teacher) and her
sixth period class are collaborating on the project with the Smithsonian Museum
in Washington, D.C. Students final projects consist of creating
artwork, poetry, and a verbal podcast which will be placed within the
Smithsonian Museum and on the Museum's website.
