Fifty-seven years ago, in 1957, nine African American students integrated Central High School in Little Rock following the 1954 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education declaring segregation illegal. Their courage in the face of bigotry and injustice resounded across the nation and the world.
On Thursday, November 13, three members of the “Little Rock Nine” - Ernest Green, Carlotta Walls LaNier, and Terrence Roberts - shared their reflections on race, then and now, with LBJ Presidential Library Friends members.
The introduction to the program was made by a current student at Little Rock Central High, Amaree Austin, who is the great-niece of one of the Little Rock Nine, Thelma Mothershed.
