Little Rock Nine

I would have been terrified to be one of the Little Rock Nine. Not only did they leave their comfort zone, but the place they were going to did not want them. It must have been very difficult for them because they were faced with so much violence and hatred, and they couldn't fight back. Even if I did get thrown into that situation, I would have quit the instant I saw the mob of angry white people trying to keep me from going to school. I value education very highly, and even that would not have made me want to face that crowd. Those African American students should be put on an extremely high pedestal for doing such a hard task when almost everything was against them.
