We wouldn't give up

Article Abstract:

The first black youngsters to graduate from the Little Rock Central High School, Little Rock, AR, went through hell while they were students but they never gave up. They had to face the forces of hate and division in the form of cursing and spitting mobs. They endured daily barrages of racial venom and persecution not only within the walls of the school but even from the governor of the state who bitterly declared that blood will run in the streets if blacks tried to enter Little Rock Central High School.

Memories of segregation: the long shadow of Little Rock

Article Abstract:

The 1957 school integration crisis at Little Rock Central High School, Little Rock, AR, was a milestone in the American Negro's struggle for equality. It also marked the end of one of the most turbulent and painful periods in the history of American education. The courage and conviction of the National Assn for the Advancement of Colored People and the students who became known as the Little Rock Nine will be remembered as a monument to man's eternal yearning for human rights, parity and decency.
