6. Public Schools
Schools were first available to sons of certain social classes who were destined for leadership positions in church, state, or the courts.
Gradually, some education was available for girls as well.

7. Privilege of Reading
It was illegal for slaves to learn how to read and write.

8. Segregation in Schools
In 1896, The Supreme Court authorizes segregation in Plessy v. Ferguson, finding Louisiana's "separate but equal" law constitutional.
Several law suits are brought up throughout the years, but nothing changes until…

9. Brown v. Board of Education
In the early 1950’s, racial segregation in public schools was the norm across America. Although all the schools in a given district were supposed to be equal, most black schools were far inferior to their white counterparts.

10. Brown v. Board of Education
On May 17, 1954 the decision of the unanimous Court was announced:
“We conclude that in the field of public education the doctrine of “separate but equal” has no place. Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal.”
The Supreme Court required the desegregation of schools across America.

11. Desegregation
By 1955, white opposition in the South had grown into massive resistance, using a strategy to persuade all whites to resist compliance with the desegregation orders.
Tactics included firing school employees who showed willingness to seek integration, closing public schools rather than desegregating, and boycotting all public education that was integrated.

12. Desegregation
In 1957, Governor Orval Faubus defied a federal court order to admit nine African American students to Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. He sent the Arkansas National Guard to keep them out.
President Dwight Eisenhower sent the 101st Airborne Division to enforce desegregation and protect the nine students.

13. Elizabeth Eckford
“…she stood alone, in front of Central High, facing the long line of soldiers, with a huge crowd of white people screeching at her back… we could see how erect and proud she stood despite the fear she must have been feeling.”
