Back in ‘57, the afformentionned were spat on, cursed at, threatened, and abused all because they wanted to learn. Today, lil’ ray-ray spat, cursed at, and threatened the TEACHER! whoa.

I personally went through a period of “school is corny” back in high school. But I didn’t fall off bad enough to not graduate on time.

The Little Rock Nine were Thelma Mothershed, Minnijean Brown, Elizabeth Eckford, Gloria Ray; Top row, left to right: Jefferson Thomas, Melba Pattillo, Terrence Roberts, Carlotta Walls, NAACP President Daisy Bates and Ernest Green. Heroes!

Yet, the nation hasn’t caught up. And some individuals will make any excuse to perpetuate the view and attitudes of those from earlier.
