Cracking the Wall: The Struggles of the Little Rock Nine - Paperback

by Eileen Lucas (Author), Mark Anthony (Illustrator)

In 1957, nine teenagers were chosen to be the first black students to attend all-white Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. A small group of people in Little Rock, including the governor of Arkansas, wanted to keep them out. But those nine students knew they had a right to a good education. And they would do anything to crack the wall that had kept black people and white people apart.
