Little Rock Nine (CRR)

                     In class, we were reading an article about the Little Rock Nine which were a group of African American students who enrolled in Little Rock Central High School in 1957. Their enrollment was followed by the Little Rock Crisis, in which the students were prevented from going to a racially segregated school. They had the right to speak up about their opinions, and about entering this high school. I believe they did the right thing because by doing this it can reflect on their future and of others. I will never understand why this was happening. Just because of your color of skin you’re not permitted to do what others of different color skin can do. I believe that we are all the same. The only thing different is our accents and color of skin. I don't think all of this was necessary, if there behaved well and have good grades then why not let them attend your high school? That question will always be wondering in my head. In the article, they compare this situation to other things that happened in history such as, Martin Luther king, and how he expressed his dreams of segregation not happening, and of Rosa Parks. How she stood up as a black women of not giving up her seat. The best part about this article that grabbed my attention is how they didn't give up on trying entering this school. They tried and tired and finally got what they wanted. This showed me that in life to get what you want you need to fight for fight, no matter how long it takes or how hard it is to always keep trying. I believe that this article had changed other people’s point of views. Such as kids that don’t believe in themselves and tend to give up all the time. But this article shows otherwise, and even changed my point of views as a student attending high school.
