Board of Education, brought the promise of integration to Little Rock, Arkansas, but it was hard-won for the nine black teenagers chosen to integrate Central High School in 1957. They ran a gauntlet flanked by a rampaging mob and a heavily armed Arkansas National Guard-opposition so intense that soldiers from the elite 101st Airborne Division were called in to restore order. For Melba Beals and her eight friends those steps marked their transformation into reluctant warriors-on a battlefield that helped shape the civil rights movement.Warriors Don't Cry, drawn from Melba Beals's personal diaries, is a riveting true account of her junior year at Central High-one filled with telephone threats, brigades of attacking mothers, rogue police, fireball and acid-throwing attacks, economic blackmail, and, finally, a price upon Melba's head. With the help of her English-teacher mother; her eight fellow warriors; and her gun-toting, Bible-and-Shakespeare-loving grandmother, Melba survived. And, incredibly, from a year that would hold no sweet-sixteen parties or school plays, Melba Beals emerged with indestructible faith, courage, strength, and hope. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 $a Beals, Melba. 610 20 $a Central High School (Little Rock, Ark.) $x History. 650 0 $a School integration $z Little Rock $z Little Rock $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a African American students $z Little Rock $z Little Rock $v Biography. 700 1 $a Pitts, Lisa Renee. $4 nrt 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/10755165 $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ttm_9781452624945_180.jpeg 941 $a 2 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20171128013431.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20161103011459.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=183E4C34A18B11E6AED112AEDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
