notes: label: Description
content: This 1955 yearbook from Dunbar Junior/Senior High School in Little Rock, Arkansas is radically different from the school's yearbooks prior to Brown v. Board in it's format. The earlier yearbooks were printed on poor quality paper, only a few pages in length, only featured the senior class and stapled together. This was due to the lack of financial support provided to the segregated schools in the community. Instead they relied on a few black businesses.
label: Description
content: In contrast, this yearbook is a gold colored, hardcover book that is labeled with the school mascot- Bearcat. Four of the nine Little Rock Nine students appear in the yearbook, including Ernest Green in class 9-4, Terrence Roberts in class 8-1, Thelma Mothershed in class 8-4, Carlotta Walls in class 7-3.
