But the journey of the "Little Rock Nine" would lead the nation on an even longer and much more turbulent path, one that would challenge prevailing attitudes, break down barriers, and forever change America. Descended from a line of proud black landowners and businessmen, Carlotta was raised to believe that education was the key to success. After Brown v. Board of Education, the teenager volunteered to be among the first black students--she was the youngest--to integrate nearby Central High School. But getting through the door was only the first of many trials. This inspiring memoir is not only a testament to the power of one to make a difference but also of the sacrifices made by families and communities that found themselves a part of history.--From publisher description. 520 $a In 1957, Walls and eight other black students--known as the Little Rock Nine--only want to make it to class. But their journey would lead the nation on a much more turbulent path. Walls writes an inspiring memoir that shines a light on this watershed moment in Civil Rights history. 650 0 $a School integration $z Little Rock $z Little Rock $x History $y 20th century. 610 20 $a Central High School (Little Rock, Ark.) $x History. 600 10 $a LaNier, Carlotta Walls. 650 0 $a African American students $z Little Rock $z Little Rock $v Biography. 700 1 $a Page, Lisa Frazier. 941 $a 16 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314031814.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230804011359.0 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718085741.0 952 $l LTAX046 $d 20220805011407.0 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20200829011027.0 952 $l CDPC522 $d 20191119015801.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006051529.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180720032343.0 952 $l IBAX173 $d 20180307022518.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418072717.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20160202043041.0 952 $l GPPC641 $d 20150916042701.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20150911023920.0 952 $l ORAX826 $d 20150509012400.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20100120073657.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20100405130033.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D7856C82FBCD11DEB3E93EDF5F36B428 994 $a 02 $b IOHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
