In this episode, Mrs. Carlotta Walls LaNier, the youngest member of the Little Rock nine, joins The TLS crew to tell us her story and to talk about the progress, if any, she has seen in race relations and educational equality in the U.S. over the past six decades. This is a truly candid conversation about her experiences and her journey through her eyes. The Little Rock Nine was a group of nine African American students enrolled in Little Rock Central High School in 1957. Their enrollment was followed by the Little Rock Crisis, in which the students were initially prevented from entering the racially segregated school by Orval Faubus, the Governor of Arkansas.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph of nine-year-old Kim Phuc running away from her village, naked and severely burned is one of the most iconic images of all time.  Today, we are joined by Kim to hear the story behind the photo. Taken just months before the US pulled out of the Vietnam War, the image captures the catastrophic effect the war was having on civilians. Kim, also known as “Napalm girl,” shares what she has learned on her journey from tragedy to triumph and what it means for us. SHOW NOTES Growing up, the Vietnam War seemed far away from Kim’s carefree + joyful life in the village of Trảng Bàng. June 8, 1972: Kim watched as the planes flew overhead, dropping napalm bombs. Instantly, her clothes burned off + her left arm caught fire. She knew she’d no longer be “normal” and be viewed differently. As they were running from their burning village, a solider gave Kim water to drink + poured water over her skin. Three days after the bombing, her parents found her in the morgue of the hospital. Uncle Ut: Nick Ut is the photographer that captured the iconic photo + took Kim her to a nearby hospital. Kim spent 14 months in the hospital receiving 17 surgical procedures. The compassion and readiness of the doctors and nurses that treated Kim inspired her. While in medical school, the Vietnamese government arranged for journalists around the world to interview her which interrupted her studies leading her to have to drop out. The Girl in the Picture: While in the hospital, Kim was unaware the photograph existed. When she finally saw it, she was embarrassed that someone took her photo, naked and in agony. Later in life, the picture evoked emotion, motivating Kim to help children that are suffering. Finding peace: Kim has now learned to accept the picture + use it to promote peace. At 19 years old, Kim dealt with hatred, bitterness, pain, loss, negativity + hopelessness which was harder than dealing with the physical pain caused by napalm. Seeking purpose: Kim's physical suffering motivated her to find a purpose in religion. "Forgiveness made me free from hatred. I still have many scars on my body and severe pain most days but my heart is cleansed." "Naplam is very powerful but faith, forgiveness, and love are much more powerful. We would not have war at all if everyone could learn to live with true love, hope + forgiveness." "And if that little girl in the picture can find love, hope, and forgiveness. Then ask yourself, can you?" If you enjoyed hearing about Kim Phuc's story, you'll love my conversation with Carlotta Walls LaNier. As the youngest member of the "Little Rock Nine", Carlotta shares about her historic role in school integration + how she's been an inspirational leader for so many. Listen to Carlotta on ep. 56.

Sixty years ago, black students integrated a high school in Little Rock, Arkansas. We speak with a member of that group, Carlotta Walls Lanier, who lives in Denver, about her views on racial discrimination then and now. Also, our colleagues at Open Air remember musicians who've died in 2017 by having local bands play their music.

“I wanted the same opportunities as the next person. I was no different, other than skin color.” In 1954, the Supreme Court decided with Brown vs. Board of Education that separate schools for black and white students were unconstitutional. In the spring of 1957, Little Rock, Arkansas was the epicenter of racial tension as Little Rock Central High School prepared for the integration of its first nine students of color.  Carlotta Walls LaNier was a member of the "Little Rock Nine." In the decades since, Carlotta was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal, the highest honor a US citizen can receive, for championing freedom and persevering in the face of bigotry to earn equal rights for herself and others.  Join me and Carlotta to talk about her historic role in school integration and how she has been an inspirational leader for so many despite the challenges she faced. SHOW NOTES:  In the spring of 1957, at the age 14, she was the youngest member of the Little Rock Nine. Brown vs. Board of education (1954) was talked about in her home and church and it allowed her to set a goal to go to school closer to home. Sept. 23, she was taken out of school because a mob appeared and the 17 police officers protecting the "Nine" feared they could not handle the size of the mob. She came back Sept. 25. It was then that President Eisenhower decided to call in the 101st Airborne; giving her a guard walk her to class. Kids walked on the back of her heels until they bled. When she dropped a book, she'd be kicked when reaching to pick it up. Get a copy of her book, A Mighty Long Way: My Journey To Justice At Little Rock Central High School. Carlotta was awarded a Congressional Gold Medal, the highest honor a citizen in the U.S. can receive. President Clinton asked to present it to her at the White House. “Education is the road to success.” "I knew I was doing the right thing." "I did not go there to be an icon or hero." She was determined to go to her 50th class reunion. Many were cordial, but also many were still stuck in the 50’s. “My parents never taught me to hate.” “I’m not going to waste my energy and time on ignorance.” "I’m disappointed in the lack of leadership in this country." "Know who you are. Once you're centered, you know what to do." CARLOTTA WALLS LANIER'S LIVE INSPIRED 7  1. What is the best book you’ve ever read? A Mighty Long Way &  Thurgood Marshall: American Revolutionary. The legendary lawyer and Supreme Court Justice left an indelible mark on me. 2. Tomorrow you discover your wealthy uncle shockingly dies at the age of 103; leaving you millions. What would you do with it? First, I’d make sure my family was taken care of and my grandchildren were set up for college. Then, I’d want to make sure the people of Puerto Rico have clean water and I’d give to NAACP Legal Defense Fund. 3. Your house is on fire, all living things and people are out. You have the opportunity to run in and grab one item. What would it be? My Congressional Gold Medal. 4. You are sitting on a bench overlooking a gorgeous beach. You have the opportunity to have a long conversation with anyone living or dead. Who would it be? Thurgood Marshall. 5. What is the best advice you’ve ever received? You got a lot of work to do ahead. Stay true to yourself. Stay in the moment. 6. Looking back, what advice would you give yourself at age 20? "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." 7.

This week we look at a story that calls into question just how successful the Civil Rights Movement really was. It’s the iconic story of the Little Rock Nine, the courageous African American students who began the process of desegregating Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. They faced a hostile state governor, Orville Faubus, who called out the state’s National Guard to prevent the federally-mandated desegregation order. Then, after the Eisenhower administration sent in troops from the 101st Airborne to take control of the situation and enforce the order, the students were confronted by raging mobs calling out racial slurs and threatening violence. And all of this was captured on camera. We’ve all seen the images. But there’s a lot more to the story of Little Rock in 1957 and that’s our focus today. This topic is important because racial segregation in the nation’s public schools is still a huge problem – and it’s getting worse. And the problem isn’t just segregation, because data shows that segregated schools offer fewer college prep courses, and fewer courses and programs in the arts, compared to white majority schools. Segregated schools also have lower graduation rates and higher rates of suspensions and expulsions for discipline problems. In other words, students in these schools in 2017 are being offered an education that is, separate and unequal. How is this possible? How did we get here? Well, part of the reason is that many Americans – remembering uplifting moments like the Little Rock Nine desegregating Central High School 60 years ago this month – believe the problem of segregation in public schools was solved decades ago. It’s in the past. It turns out, that happy memory of a Civil Rights victory in 1957 is actually one of the things that stands in the way of our confronting and resolving the scourge of segregation. To help us understand the long and complicated history of Little Rock and desegregation efforts, I speak with historian Erin Krutko Devlin, author of the new book, Remember Little Rock (Univ. of Massachusetts Press, 2017). Among the many things discussed in this episode:  How the Little Rock crisis of 1957 is part of a problematic triumphant narrative of racial progress. Why celebrating iconic civil rights victories can bolster a misperception that racism is a thing of the past. Why 60 years after Little Rock, many public schools in the US remain segregated and unequal. How opponents of integration in Little Rock and elsewhere turned from Massive Resistance to Passive Resistance to stymie desegregation efforts. How public officials in Little Rock, Arkansas successfully conspired to thwart meaningful school integration after 1957. How conservative judges after 1980 began to roll back desegregation programs imposed by lower courts. What Little Rock in 1957 can tell us about Charlottesville in 2017. Little Rock and the emergence of Civil Rights tourism. How Little Rock and the National Park Service site and museum commemorate the #PublicHistory of the Civil Rights movement.
