Little Rock Nine

This article” The Little Rock Nine “is about nine teenagers that try to desegregate Central High School and succeeded. “ On September 4, nine black students- selected by the school board from a pool of more than 100 volunteers-tried to enter Central High for the time.” This quote states the process that the teenagers had to go through. “Gloria Ray, 15, reported that white students called her names, spat at her, vandalized her locker, and pushed her down her a flight of stair.” This quote states that Gloria was put through a lot. She was treated like an animal. It also states what kind of abuse the nine students had went through and it’s sad to hear that Gloria was pushed. I think this topic is very important because to hear that nine African American students desegregated a school in 1957 is an accomplish.  Before I read this article I thought  it was about nine little rocks , but I realize it’s about nine african american teenager trying to go to an all white high school in 1957. I wonder if they were nine caucasian teenagers going to an all afrcian american high school. Would they have did anything differently. Would they have tormented they white kids. In my opinion i think they would have let the teenagers in with out a problem.
