Property Highlights

From the NPS: "McDonogh 19 Elementary School, built in 1929, is a three story stuccoed building that was designed by Edgar Angelo Christy in the Italian Renaissance Revival. It takes up one city block in the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans. It has not been altered since construction and retains many original features on the exterior and interior and has a high degree of historic integrity." The school was integrated by three young girls, Leona Tate, Tessie Prevost, and Gail Etienne, in the fall of 1960 (on the same day Ruby Bridges integrated William Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans). The nonprofit Leona Tate Foundation for Change partnered with Alembic Community Development to purchase the long vacant school site from the Orleans Parish School Board and convert it into a Civil Rights Museum/ educational center with affordable senior housing for nearby residents. Cleanup is complete; redevelopment is underway with Phase I of construction complete.
