Nine African-American students made history when they defied a governor and integrated an Arkansas high school in 1957. It was the photo of one of the nine trying to enter the school- a young girl being taunted, harassed, and threatened by an angry mob- that grabbed the world's attention and kept its disapproving gaze on Little Rock, Arkansas. In defiance of a federal court order, Governor Orval Faubus called in the National Guard to prevent the students from entering the all-white Central High School. A chilling photo by newspaper photographer Will Counts captured the sneering expression of a girl in the mob and made history. -- from Back Cover   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library YA -- Nonfiction 379.26309 To Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 379.26309 To Checked In Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 379.26309 To Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 379.26309 To Checked In Add Copy to MyList
