Abolishment of Segregation

     The Abolishment of Segregation. What does that mean? Why should we care? What are you going to do to get the message across to others?
  In my research paper, I am focusing on the Abolishment of Segregation in Arkansas. Specifically a group called Little Rock Nine. Little Rock Nine was a group of 9 teenagers that were the first African-American kids to attend an all white school after a law had been passed saying that no kid of color is to be denied the right to learn at a primarily caucasian school. These kids didn't successfully get through a day of school there until the President had to send in Troops from the National Guard. They had no problem getting in after that. In fact, some people started to respect them for preserving until they were let in. Others were not so happy.
  It is because of kids like these that African-Americans and other races are treated equally. Since the time of this event, the government has put laws in place that forbid lesser quality of treatment for any race. So let me just say this, if you didn't care or know about this event now you do. So go make an impact for children with brave hearts like these all over the world.
