Daisy Bates and the Little Rock Nine. On September 25th of 1957, under the watchful eye of the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division, 9 black teenagers nervously entered the previously all-white Little Rock High School to become students. A similar but unguarded attempt weeks earlier had been alarmingly unsuccessful, and even this subsequent military intervention - ordered by President Eisenhower no less - did little to prevent the unrelenting abuse unleashed on the Little Rock Nine over the next year.
Central to the area's desegregation - and therefore a major figure in the early stages of the entire civil rights movement - was Daisy Bates: publisher of the local black newspaper and President of the Arkansas branch of the NAACP.
The perseverance of Mrs. Bates and the Little Rock Nine during these turbulent years sent a strong message throughout the South that desegregation worked and the tradition of racial segregation under “Jim Crow” would no longer be tolerated in the United States of America. #TheValueofEducation #TheImportanceofDissent #KnowledgeisPower
