Little Rock Central High School & The Little Rock Nine!
In 1957, Little Rock Central High School became an important place in American history. Nine brave African American students, known as the Little Rock Nine, stood up for equal rights by being the first to attend the all-white school. These courageous students faced many challenges, but they showed the world the power of courage, determination, and the fight for fairness. As you color, remember their story and how they helped make schools fair for everyone!
