In the book Warriors Don't Cry by Melba Pattillo Beals, the author describes what her reactions and feelings are to the racial hatred and discrimination she and eight other African-American teenagers received in Little Rock, Arkansas during the desegregation period in 1957. She tells the story of the nine students from the time she turned sixteen years old and began keeping a diary until her final days at Central High School in Little Rock. The story begins by Melba talking about the anger, hatred, and sadness that is brought up upon her first return to Central High for a reunion with her eight other classmates. As she walks through the halls and rooms of the old school, she recalls the

Throughout her experience, Melba’s views and attitudes changed quite a bit. When she first volunteered to be one of the first black students who would attend Central High School in Little

Imagine being attacked by mobs on the way to school. Melba and Boston school students are experiencing this. In the book, Warriors Don’t Cry, Melba is part of the Civil Rights Movement by being one of the first black students to integrate into Central High School. She experiences abuse and hate from people who do not want her to come into Central High. In “Selma and Civil Rights”, 600 civil right marchers march through Selma and towards Montgomery. The governor tries to stop the march, while the President tries to help and encourage the marches. The goal is to give African Americans the freedom to vote. “‘It Was Like A War Zone’: Busing Boston” is about the Boston Public Schools allowing integration. Black students on their way to school are

Starting her second education, she was forced to drop out to care for her ailing grandmother. With Jim Crow’s Law, heavily in affect, her childhood was greatly influenced by the segregation between white people and black people in almost every part of their lives.

On September 25, 1957, Nine african american students entered Central High and made it through a whole day. They are called, “The Little Rock nine.” The names of the students are Ernest Green, Elizabeth Eckford, Jefferson Thomas, Terrence Roberts, Carlotta Walls LaNier, Minnijean Brown, Gloria Ray Karlmark, and Melba Pattillo Beals.

Emotional strength shows throughout Melba Patillio Beals search for freedom and equality. While Beals comes home one day screaming out,"I'll never go back to Central!"Later on in the story, Beals still goes to Central High School. Beals still go back even after what happens to her at the school, she doesn't want to give the students satisfaction.If she didn't go back, the students would have thought that they have finally driven her out. Believing that they can control anyone by threatening them. Her emotional strength here keeps her going even if it's not strong enough yet, she still goes knowing what is ahead. Her social life is taken away from her, because of Central High and that's one of the reasons she doesn’t want to go back. Students and even teachers look at her in a hateful way so she feels that she can’t

Since most states couldn’t afford to stay separate they had to integrate. Nine black students enrolled to central high school. They were call the Little Rock Nine. Everyday on the way to school there was an angry mob of white people to curse at them and threaten their lives. It wasn’t safe for them to walk to school by themselves so the president called in the federal troops to escort them to school.

In conclusion, Melba reacts to her surroundings by being scared, worried, and brave. Melba, in my opinion, is the most influential member of the Little Rock Nine because of her constant strength against the segregationists and being able to withstand racism every day. It is important that she reacts because it often positively affects the movement to integrate more black students into Central High

Melba Pattillo Beals helped change education for all African Americans. She chose to join the Little Rock Nine and by doing so she helped pave a new education for all African Americans.

They led the students through the doors of the Central High

Ruby Bridges was 6 years old when she got the opportunity to go to an all-white school. Her family moved from Tylertown, Mississippi to New Orleans, Louisiana in 1959 to find better job opportunities. Ruby attended Johnson Lockett, a school for black children, in kindergarten. The spring of that year, New Orleans administered a test to all the black schools in an effort to integrate schools. If children passed the exam, they would be sent to an all-white school. This was supposedly given to evaluate the black childrens’ education and see if they were intelligent enough to attend a school with white children. However, the test was created to be very difficult and impossible for anyone to pass. Ruby Bridges and five other students shocked the teachers and administrators and did the impossible! They each had an opportunity to go to an all-white school, Ruby’s being William Frantz Elementary School.

Melba Pattillo Beals wanted to attend Central, because of the privileges she would receive. Since she wouldn’t be attending a Black school, she wouldn’t be treated as poorly as a typical Black girl. Melba says that the Ku Klux Klan, a group who hated Blacks, were trying to hold them back from going to Central. She says that even before the school year started, she was having difficulty with the Ku Klux Klan. The NAACP, an African American organization with many Whites, helped out the Little Rock Nine.

Melbas family and friends gave her the strength to get through her problems even if she wasn’t wanted at Central High. Melba made some white kids who were different, She was in a life or death situation a couple of times at Central High.

McClellan's soldiers had found the sniping worrisome enough, but even more disturbing was the disclosure that the slain enemy marksman had been a Negro. Tales of the deadly "darky sharpshooter" spread throughout the Union camp, and the daring black's exploits were later recorded in the postwar regimental history of the 1st U.S. Sharpshooters. To men who had been raised on the fulminations of William Lloyd Garrison and uncle Tom's Cabin, it seemed incomprehensible that any black man could willingly serve the Confederacy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A British observer, Lt. Col. Arthur J. Fremantle of the Coldstream Guards, noted in his diary that he observed an armed black man leading a Union
