Nine brave students, known as the Little Rock Nine, were the first African American students to attend Central High School in 1957, despite facing angry mobs of protesters and the National Guard.

Inside the school, they faced challenges from white classmates but persevered. Their courage brought attention to segregation in schools and paved the way for future generations. In 1958, they graduated, leaving behind a legacy of bravery and resilience. Their story is a reminder of the power of courage and determination to make a difference in the world.
