Description

IMAGINE...

being thrust into the National Spotlight - into the heart of the burgeoning Civil Rights Movement... just because you wanted to go to school... and all of this happens to you at the tender age of 15.

That's what happened to Terrence Roberts.

Terry is one of the members of "The Little Rock Nine", and when he and his fellow students tried to enter Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1957, they were blocked by the National Guard.

And then they were relentlessly harassed and attacked by the white students, on a daily basis.

Sounds unbelievable?

Just look at the state of our country today.

The more things change, the more they stay the same...
