Jahana Hayes, Elizabeth Eckford and Terrence Roberts of the Little Rock Nine recount what it was like to enter Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, as the first Black students. They discuss how equity in education has changed in the U.S. and how it can still improve with investment in underserved students.

Members Of The Little Rock Nine Address Educational Equity In The U.S. | Nightly News Films
Thanks for telling us these things. Always good to know where we as a people come from.
IN A FEW YEARS OR SO, PEOPLE WILL BE KICKING THEMSELVES IN REGRET FOR MISSING THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUY AND INVEST IN CRYPTOCURRENCIES
Thanks for providing perspectives and updates on the Little Rock 9. The picture and coverage in textbooks has been inadequate, and I assumed that all of them had passed away already. These interviews show that not all black people are thugs, as misportrayed by the previous administration and right wing media. I also like how you show successful teachers and government officials trying to improve the educational system without being overly naïve or ideal, given the challenges. The racial reckoning of this country has to be done tastefully, as here, since many of my nativist and populist friends feel that woke-ism is too much in their face, to the point where they are pushing back against it, even when they agree with you. There is only so much criticism that anybody can take at any given time. Such is human nature….
US, UK and European school attendance are a year behind children from countries that listened to the WHO.
The educational gap and associated social issues will be a reminder of the failed western pandemic management for years to come.
Jesus birth saw the Wise men coming from the East. Today the Wise men still come from the East and also New Zealand.
Karma is coming to all racists 💀
If you dislike this video because of the content then you’re racist
I am a graduate of Little Rock Central High
I didn’t even know who the Little Rock nine were. That’s how much of a failure my education was.
Knowledge is power. Education is a right not a luxury. Anyone so desirable must be given such education in person. Someone's race, creed or color is NOT of the utmost concern. ðŸâ€â€Ã‚½Ã°Å¸Â 😉
Dear God these poor babies. Children of God. Hate can no longer be tolerated. Not then & certainly not now. We must make a statement not just at the voting booths. But at every level of our lives. As a white person, I swear an oath here & now to defend & protect my brown & black brothers and sisters from all forms of oppression & hate whenever and where ever I see them. I don't care who you are or where you are from. We are all equal Under God and deserve equal treatment. Unless we are perpetrating the hatred. In which case we deserve #consequences. #Period.

I can imagine how frightening that must have been
Reparations now!
Remember all these white people are still alive too!
And now progressives want segregation in schools, dorms and graduations…
So sad…
