The Integration Of Central High School – Little Rock, 1957 (PM)
May 20 @ 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM
$5
The integration of Central High School – Little Rock 1957 was one of the most dramatic turning points in American History. For the first time since the Supreme Court had declared school segregation illegal, the federal government took decisive action to protect African American students’ rights. When conservative Republican President Dwight Eisenhower sent paratroopers to occupy parts of Little Rock to open the schools, he set a precedent for the federal government once again protecting disadvantaged Minority people’s rights for the first time since Reconstruction.
The Integration Of Central High School – Little Rock, 1957
In this dramatic, insightful, and continuously surprising multimedia presentation, Presidential and Congressional award-winning civil rights historian Barry Bradford will present not only the dramatic events of 1957 but also give us great insights into the personalities, context, and community that surrounded the confrontation. Terrorism and patriotism, courage and cowardice, presidential leadership and white supremacists all come into conflict as America has to decide whether or not we truly meant the words written in our Declaration of Independence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal.”
