Title: Journey to Little Rock
Description: "When Minnijean Brown Trickey was sixteen years old, she became involved in one of the most significant acts in the history of the American civil rights movement. She was one of The Little Rock Nine - the nine Black American teenagers who defied death threats, hostile white demonstrators, and even the Arkansas National Guard, to attend the all-white Little Rock Central High in 1957. Minnijean's story did not end there. Little Rock was only the first step in an amazing journey of the heart, mind and spirit."--Container.
