As a graduate
of the class of 1957, I would like to make a few comments on
what happened in September, 1957. I am sure you are aware of
the problems (and eventual solutions) that occurred at Little
Rock Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. At this
time, there were two (2) white high schools in Little Rock
when the federal government decided to integrate Little Rock
Central High. There was much turmoil in Little Rock and many
parents moved their children to other schools in Arkansas and
across the country. I graduated in May, 1957 so my parents
did not have to deal with the chaos. Of course, the school
board closed all of the high schools in Little Rock in the
year of 1958 - 1959. I have included several links on this
page to show you what happened during this time in our
history.
