Pbs: American Experience: Eyes on the Prize: School Desegregation, 1957 1962

Curated by ACT

As part of a much larger site from PBS' American Experience's series, Eyes on the Prize, look through this multifaceted site that traces the resistance to implementing school desegregation ordered by the Supreme Court and shows the heroism of students who were willing to be the first to integrate public educational institutions. Read articles from newspapers at the time, see a video about the Little Rock Nine, find a map of several of particular places where challenges to segregation were fought, and find a photo gallery of the many involved.
