In 1957, Little Rock Central High School was the epicenter of confrontation and a catalyst for change as the fundamental test for the United States to enforce African American civil rights following Brown v. Board of Education. Learn how the sacrifice and struggle endured by the Little Rock Nine have provided opportunities and opened doors for those seeking equality and education around the world.
Isabel Wilkerson, a Pulitzer Prize and National Humanities Medal-winner, and the New York Times bestselling author of The Warmth of Other Suns and Caste: The Origins of our Discontents, will join Superintendent Robin White of Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site for a special evening as part of the 67th anniversary events commemorating the desegregation of Little Rock Central High School.
