Little Rock was a very important step in the civil rights movement. For the first time ever, African American kids were going to school with white kids. One of the things I liked about this article was that it touched on some aspects of Little Rock that are not as commonly known. When reading the article, I was coming into the reading knowing that the conditions that these kids had to suffer through was awful but still, reading this article and reading more closely how these students were bullied and beaten just trying to get an education. Its horrible. Today, we live in a society that still suffers from incredible racism and I hope that one day we can find a way to end this racism.
