As Elizabeth Eckford recalled in her interview with Facing History and Ourselves, she “walked further down the line of guards to where there was another sidewalk,” but when she “stepped up, they crossed rifles” (Eckford). She was informed the night before that there would be guards at the door, but she thought it was to protect them. This didn’t seem to be the case for her, though, because after trying three times to enter the school, she was led by a soldier into the crowd of angry people, shouting for her to leave. She said that they, “to [her] ears sounded like a mob” (Eckford). This was society’s first reaction to the Little Rock Nine,

If two people of different races are just alike you shouldn’t separate them. But you also shouldn’t tell one part of the story to make something or someone look good. The Plessy vs. Ferguson case came up with the famous quote “separate but equal” Meaning things could be separated between races as long as each race had all the same things. Particularly in this case between Blacks and Whites, but in schools, restaurants, and many other places it wasn’t equal. So there was a case called Brown vs. Board of Education which fought to integrate schools and Brown won. The first to integrate was the Little Rock Nine in Little Rock, Arkansas. While the Little Rock Nine were integrating the press illuminated and distorted information and pictures of the

So the following day, Daisy Bates, head of the NAACP’s local branch, arranged for them to meet to walk to the school together.

In 1957 Arkansas, a group of nine black students enrolled at an all-white Central High School, marking what is known as today as the Little Rock Nine. The U.S. Supreme Court declared desegregation of public schools due to the decision of Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka.

Eisenhower sent federal troops to escort the Little Rock Nine into the school later that September.

Imagine it being the first day of school and seeing a mob of white teenagers your age not letting you in the school, just because you were “colored”. Well back then … all the colored were used to threats, to eyerolls, and to mental and physical hurting by the white. Desegregation was a huge impact for the children and the education. There was segregation in buses, parks, shops, public restrooms, especially in schools, there was an all-white school, and an all-black school. The desegregation of schools was taken place in the 1950’s and the 60’s. Little Rock Nine was a humongous impact in the civil rights

Project MK Ultra was first brought to public attention by anonymous tips (“Id,”2016). Because of those tips, in 1975 the Church Committee of the U.S. Congress and Gerald Ford began to investigate CIA activities within the United States (“Id,”2016). Investigative efforts were initially hampered by the fact that CIA Director Richard Helms ordered all MK Ultra files destroyed in 1973; however, the Church Committee and Rockefeller Commission investigations relied on both the sworn testimony of direct participants and on the relatively small number of documents that survived Helms ' destruction order (“Id,”2016). “One 1955 MK Ultra document gives an indication of the size and range of the effort; this document refers to the study of an assortment of mind-altering substances” (“Id,”2016). Obviously enough information survived or else we still wouldn’t know about these experiments today.
