Presentation transcript:

Do Now  Answer the following on your Do Now sheet when you are done with your test.  Do you agree with the Supreme Court’s position that separating children based on color creates a feeling of “inferiority [lower worth]…that may affect their hearts and minds?”  How might this feeling of inferiority affect children later in life?  When you are done answering this question pick up the worksheet located on the podium by my desk. Remember to be quiet if students are still working.

 3 years after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously in Brown v. Board of Education nine African American students—including Melba Patillo Beal—attempted to integrate Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas.  The Little Rock Nine, were recruited by the Arkansas branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).  September 4, 1957, the first day of school at Central High, a white mob gathered at the school, and the Governor deployed the Arkansas National Guard to prevent the students from entering.  A team of NAACP lawyers won a federal district court ruling to prevent the governor from blocking the students’ entry.  With the help of police escorts, the students entered the school on September 23, Fearing mob violence, however, the students were rushed home soon afterward.

 King’s telegram to President Eisenhower urged him to “take a strong forthright stand in the Little Rock situation.”  King told the president that if the federal government did not take a stand it would “set the process of integration back fifty years. This is a great opportunity for you and the federal government to back up the longings and aspirations of millions of peoples of good will and make law and order a reality” (King, 1957).

Results  At the end of the school year, Ernest Green became the first African American to graduate from Central High School.  Before schools opened in 1958, Faubus closed all 4 of Little Rock’s public high schools rather than proceed with desegregation.  In December 1959, the SC ruled that the school board must reopen the schools and resume the process of desegregating the city’s schools.
