The Little Rock Nine

The Little Rock Nine were the first nine students of African decant to be enrolled into a school with white students. The board of education in Little Rock Arkansas decided that schools with strictly only white students must come to a complete stop. When the school bored committed to such a strong decision huge violent riots began. One students first day of school Arkansas had their troops prevent Minnijean Brown, Elizabeth Eckford, Ernest Green, Thelma Mothershed Wair, Melba Pattillo Beals, Carlotta Walls LaNier, Terrence Robert, Jefferson Thomas, Gloria Cecelia Ray, the nine black students from entering the doors of the school building. Each and everyday the nine students were spit on, pushed around and had garbage thrown on them. They were so happy to finally be accepted in society but on the second week seem like it was on the worst moved ever made. The Little Rock Nine is significant because it explains hard time deeper and what the nine students had to go through. Students should learn about the little rock nine because they would most likely appreciate school and a free education a whole lot more. Maybe a lot more students would get motivated and graduate each year. Teens live the lifestyles of kings and queens compared to back in the days when events like this happened. We come to school and eat here for free with a breakfast program; we have friends to greet us and help us each and everyday. These students had to be spit on, beat up, pushed into lockers and rudely judged every single day. This is relevant to the TDSB because is shows how corrupt the school boards can be. Sadly some places believe in the same treatment.
