Title: Little Rock on Trial
First published: 2007
Description: In 1957, a violent mob barred black students from entering Little Rock's Central High School and was faced off against paratroopers sent by a reluctant President Eisenhower. This book provides a summary of that historic case and shows that it paved the way for later civil rights victories. It describes the work of the Little Rock NAACP.
