The Little Rock Nine Take on School Segregation

In 1957, nine African American students bravely attempted to integrate Central High School in Little Rock, facing intense hostility and armed police. The tension between cautious school leaders and determined civil rights activists shaped their journey. As federal intervention became necessary, the students demonstrated incredible resilience, becoming symbols in the fight against segregation. The personal struggles of the Little Rock Nine reflect the broader civil rights movement and the fierce clashes over desegregation during a pivotal era in American history.
