Description:
Little Rock Central High School, established in 1927, gained national attention during the 1957 Little Rock Crisis, when nine African American students, known as the "Little Rock Nine," faced violent opposition while integrating the school. This event marked a pivotal moment in the U.S. civil rights movement, as federal troops were deployed to enforce the students' right to attend. The school remains a symbol of the struggle for desegregation and the ongoing fight for equal education in America.
