  3. Mother and Child at Supreme Court Mother and child sitting on steps of U.S. Supreme Court

  4. Thurgood Marshall Thurgood Marshall greated by 2 men. His greatest accomplishment was in Brown vs. Board of Education that ended school segregation

  5. Protesting Desegregation The words “Students don’t let these negroes stay” is showing hate for black people

  6. Equal Rights "No state shall abridge the privileges of citizens of the United States, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." Everyone is equal and should be treated the same

  7. Central High • What interests me is how their lives were changed • What angers me is that it wasn’t fair how they were treated • What I would like to learn more about is how the 9 black students that went into a white school felt about the situation

  8. Melba Patillo’s words on Central High "The first day I was able to enter Central High School, what I felt inside was terrible, wrenching, awful fear. On the car radio I could hear that there was a mob. I knew that the sounds that came from the crowd were very angry. So we entered the side of the building, very, very fast. Even as we entered there were people running after us, people tripping other people.” Her words show how bad of a situation this really was

  9. Students Escorted Students are escorted by members of the state militia into Central High

  10. Little Rock Crisis By early September, 1957 Governor OrvalFaubus of Arkansas had called in the state militia purportedly to maintain order, but in fact to prevent the integration of Little Rock's Central High School. Pictured here are some of those national guardsmen on September 2, forty-eight hours before the opening day of classes. Three weeks later, on September 23, after a federal court ordered integration to proceed, riots broke out. Howard Cooper's eyewitness account, published in the Arkansas Democrat, follows.

  11. People coming together "It was exactly like an explosion, a human explosion. At 8:35 a.m., the people standing in front of the high school looked like the ones you see every day in a shopping center. Five minutes later, at 8:40, they were a mob—the terrifying spectacle of 200-odd individuals, suddenly welded together into a single body, took place in the barest fraction of a second. It was an explosion, savagery chain-reacting from person to person, fusing them into a white-hot mass." The quote shows how these people formed a mob in order to riot against black students

  12. Montgomery Bus Boycott • I am interested in why no one else stayed with her and helped her • This makes me angry because they arrested her • I would like to learn more about how this was resolved

  13. Rosa Park’s apartment This apartment was once home to Rosa Parks

  14. Timeline of Rosa Parks Shows all important dates during her life

  15. E.D. Nixon on the bus boycott "He was a motivator who bettered a lot of people's lives. He did things a lot of people don't know about. Even now, people come up to me and tell me things he did for them. He uplifted a lot of people, people who really didn't have a lot of hope and accepted things." He tells how LaTour was a good man and helped through the Montgomery Bus Boyctt

  16. Montgomery Bus Boycott “The Montgomery Bus Boycott officially started on…” This describes what it was all about

  17. Martin Luther King Jr. • I am interested in what made King wanted blacks and whites to not be racist towards each other • I was upset because of how violent it ended up getting • I would like to learn more about his family

  18. “I have a dream” I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation… One of Martin Luther King ‘s greatest speeches

  19. Martin Luther King day A day that celebrates the great man Martin Luther King Jr. was

  20. A leader “A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.” One of his many great quotes

  21. A man of truth “A lie cannot live” Martin Luther King expresses how lying doesn’t get anyone anywhere
