was on September 4th, 1957, when the “Little Rock Nine” Crisis happened. On that day nine African American students enrolled in Little Rock Central High School, although at first the students were prevented from entering the school. This was because at the time Little Rock Central High School was originally a racially segregated school. So, as the students began to approach the school, Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus stood in front of the doors and would not let the African American students in. It was not until President Dwight D. Eisenhower intervened, by placing the Arkansas National Guard under federal control and ordering them to escort and protect the students as they entered school, that they were finally allowed in. As the African American students made their way to the school white people were parading around them in protest, constantly harassing them, screaming and throwing things at the African American students.

As public school segregation increases, what are the consequences?
According to a study published last year by the UCLA Civil Rights Project, nearly 50 percent of African-American students in New Jersey attend schools where less than 10 percent of the student body is white. And the typical white student attends a public school in which two-thirds of the population is Caucasian.
Racial segregation is not a problem that exists only in the past. Despite widely documented progress in U.S. history to limit racism, studies suggest that segregation is still an issue in today’s world. Especially right here in the schools of New Jersey.

In September 1957, nine African American students, including Elizabeth Eckford, entered the all-white Little Rock Central High School in Arkansas, thereby breaking the racial segregation barrier in US schools for the first time. They became known as the Little Rock Nine. Two years earlier the US Supreme Court had ruled segregation in schools to be unconstitutional. The first time Elizabeth Eckford tried to enter Little Rock Central High she was turned away, and the image of her surrounded by a hostile crowd of local white people is one of the most famous photographs of the American civil rights struggle of the 1950s and 60s. Stephen Sackur is at her family home in Little Rock and asks if she regrets her central role in a famous chapter of recent American history.
