As we covered in the previous episode, number 143, of Breaking Walls, In Little Rock, Arkansas on September 4th, 1957, nine African-American students attempted to attend their first day of high school at the newly integrated Little Rock Central High. The National Guard, on the orders of Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus, prevented the students from entering the school. The Governor then locked himself in his mansion, refusing to come out. President Dwight D. Eisenhower soon met with the Governor, and the National Guard was removed. On September 23rd, the nine students entered Little Rock Central High for the first time, ignoring verbal abuse and threats from a crowd outside. When the mob realized the students had entered the school, violence erupted, and seven journalists were attacked. As the situation deteriorated, school officials, fearing for the students' safety, dismissed the Little Rock Nine at lunchtime. The next day, President Eisenhower ordered paratroopers from the 101st Airborne Division to escort the students to the building, signaling out those bent on disrupting the federal integration mandate. Over the following days, Eisenhower federalized ten-thousand Arkansas National Guardsmen, removing them from the control of the Governor. The Little Rock Nine were finally able to attend classes in late September, but they faced threats, verbal abuse, and hazing from both white students and adults alike. On Thursday October 17th, 1957 NBC Radio broadcast a special with students from Little Rock Central High about their feelings on integration. Although the conditions the Little Rock Nine had to endure were deplorable, when the Spring of 1958 came around eight of the nine had successfully completed the school year.

Today on Black Focus Radio noon-2pm on JoynetRadio.com We take an in-depth look at the walkout by Little Rock Central High students and the open letter penned to the governor. LRCH students must take the lead and the walk out should put the world on notice that you will not stand idly by while public schools are being destroyed. We also provide details of the Learn Act supported by the right wing thugs as the grift taxpayers to support their racist agenda. Big business is laughing all the way to the banks to the tune of 9.6 million dollars annually. I've grown weary and frustrated because we seem to be repeating the same mantras in order to solve the problem of race. There is not a clear answer but we can force them into tolerance without firing a shot. Today I offer a solution that is radical but will have the most impact. We are done marching, crying, praying and dying. Our leaders are old and inept. They rely on the old tactics which clearly no longer work. I propose a new plan today. Dare to be Different because We are destined to be great. Daily Black Facts Examples of White Replacement Theory abound. Don't be lolled into complacency. The show is packed with info you can use.

It was history in the making when 9 black students in Little Rock first attended classes in an all-white high school. One of those students was the first black female to graduate from Little Rock Central High and she describes what amounted to a "divine calling".SEE YOU TUBE EDITION HERE.
On this episode of The Good, The Bad and The Pure Evil, I look into the Little Rock 9. 9 African American students who were chosen to enrol into what use to be a fully white high school. They enrolled into Little Rock Central High which caused quite a stir having the Governor of Arkansas - Orval Faubus call in the National Guard to block the 9 entering the High School. Eventually President Eisenhower would intervene and federalised the National Guard having them protect the 9. The events surround the Little Rock 9 would result in the Little Rock Crisis.
This week on the pod, we welcome Jeremy Ebersole. Jeremy is the is the Executive Director of the Milwaukee Preservation Alliance (oh, and the spouse of Imagine MKE's Operations Coordinator Rachel Shields Ebersole.) First, in the intro, the team chats about “swords and sandals,” Game of Thrones style alliances, and historic preservation projects of note. Jeremy joins around 15:00, and speaks about the history of the built environment, and how curiosity and a reverence for place led him to pursue a career in historic preservation. Jeremy studied communications and peace studies, and worked in college admissions before pivoting into commercial archeology and eventually working for the National Park Service. He got his Masters in Historic Preservation from the University of Oregon, before taking his current role and moving to Milwaukee. In the conversation, Jeremy discusses Milwaukee's rust belt past, the diversity and friendliness of the city, and how the continued revitalization of spaces tells of the vibrancy of this community. He reflects on how preservation projects have the ability to cross boundaries, create social and environmental solutions and push culture forward. In his work, Jeremy advocates for the future of historic spaces in Milwaukee including the Mitchell Park Domes.

The guys tour Little Rock Central High School and learn about the historic event that took place in 1957 with the Little Rock 9 in honor of Black History Month. They have some really good takeaways from this important time in history. Give it a listen.
In September 1957 nine African American students, including Elizabeth Eckford, entered the all white Little Rock Central High School in Arkansas, thereby breaking for the first time the racial segregation barrier in US schools. 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. Later in September 1957 Elizabeth and her fellow group of African American students were finally able to enter the school. But their troubles didn't stop there. The Little Rock Nine were regularly abused and shunned by white students and for Elizabeth Eckford her time at the school led to suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. HARDtalk is at her familyhome in Little Rock from where she left to attend Central High more than 60 years ago. (Photo: Elizabeth Eckford)

One thousand soldiers escort nine black students into Little Rock Central High. In 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that segregating schools based on race was unconstitutional. Just days later the Little Rock, Arkansas school board agreed to abide by the decision and drew up plans a year later to begin gradually integrating schools staring in 1957. After some court challenges to speed up the process were denied, the process was to begin with black students attending classes at Little Rock Central High School on September 3, 1957. A defiant Governor Orval Faubus tried to block this by ordering his National Guard to prevent black students from entering white schools. After a court injunction and a first attempt that attracted thousands of protesters, President Dwight D. Eisenhower decided to intervene. He sent in 1,000 members of the 101st Airborne Division of the United States Army, and federalized the entire Arkansas National Guard, to ensure that the state’s first nine black students could enter Little Rock Central High to begin classes on September 25, 1957. Ernest Green, the first to graduate from Central High in 1980, became the assistant secretary of housing and urban affairs in the administration of President Jimmy Carter. He later went on to become a managing partner and vice president of the global finance company, Lehman Brothers in Washington, D.C. In the fall of 1999, 42 years after that historic day, President Bill Clinton awarded all nine students with the Congressional Gold Medal for their “selfless heroism” in standing up to discrimination.

PATENTINGENJÖR, MEDBORGARRÄTTSKÄMPE. Jag är Amerika, slår Gloria Ray Karlmark fast i sitt Sommarprogram. Hennes farfar var slav och hennes farmor amerikansk indian... Själv tog hon som 14-åring strid mot rasismen som segregerade svarta amerikaner från vita, när hon och åtta andra afroamerikanska ungdomar sökte sig till en vit high school i staden Little Rock i Arkansas. Året var 1957 och USA:s högsta domstol hade slagit fast att segregaring inte var förenligt med författningen. Ändå ville sydstaterna inte acceptera att svarta och vita skulle få lika villkor och gemensamma skolor.Gloria berättar om kampen för att ens komma in i skolan, om hur president Eisenhower till slut sänder elitsoldater för att eskortera de nio ungdomarna genom de vita lynchmobbarna. Och hon berättar om den sista skoldagen i Little Rock, en dag som inte liknande någon annan.- Vi nio ungdomar kallades The Little Rock Nine och har blivit en omskriven del av USA:s historia. Men vi bär alla smärtsamma spår av vad vi var med om. Jag var fjorton år ung när jag började på Little Rock Central High school, och hundra år gammal vid årets slut.Om Gloria Ray KarlmarkEn av nio afroamerikanska elever The Little Rock Nine som 1957 försökte och till slut lyckades studera på den helvita Little Rock Central High School. Händelsen blev ett av startskotten för den amerikanska medborgarrättsrörelsen.Tilldelades USA:s kongress guldmedalj 1999, och prisades av Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library Foundation förra året, för sina insatser.Tog examen i matematik och kemi i Chicago där hon mötte sin svenske man.Hängde på jazzklubbar på 60-talet, mötte Miles Davis och Thelonious Monk.Producent: Elisabeth Åsbrink
