5. EXAMPLE: Bates, Daisy. The Long Shadow of Little Rock. 1st ed. New York: David McKay Co. Inc., 1962. Daisy Bates was the president of the Arkansas NAACP and the one who met and listened to the students each day. Her book contained interviews with the minority students that were first to be integrated into the school district. This first-hand account was very important to my paper because it made me more aware of the feelings of the people involved.
