The funeral services for Tessie Prevost-Williams, known as one of the “New Orleans Four” for helping integrate New Orleans Public Schools when she was 6-years-old, will be Saturday in New Orleans. Williams, a resident of LaPlace, will be buried at Rising Star Pilgrims Rest Cemetery, 1103 Cardinal St., LaPlace.

Ms. Williams’ body will lie in state for a public viewing at Gallier Hall in New Orleans on Friday, from noon to 3 p.m. Her funeral service will be at 10 a.m. Saturday at Branch Bell Baptist Church, 1231 Saint Maurice Avenue in the lower Ninth Ward.

On Nov. 14, 1960, first-graders Tessie Prevost, Leona Tate and Gail Etienne made history when they entered McDonogh 19 under the protection of federal marshals. That same day 6-year-old Ruby Bridges walked into William T. Frantz Elementary, also with federal marshals.
