Scholastic: Integrating Central High Melba Pattillo Story

Curated by ACT

This is the story of Melba Pattillo, one of the nine African American students who were the first to enter Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. Her story is very informative, and the site ends with a reflection question of how you might feel or act if you were in Melba's shoes.
