  • A Mighty Long Way: My Journey to Justice at Little Rock Central High School
    reviews Carlotta Walls LaNier, with Lisa Frazier Page, A Mighty Long Way: My Journey to Justice at Little Rock Central High School. Ballantine/One World, 2009. 284 pp. As a consequence of the Brown vs. Board of Education ruling in 1954, Little Rock, Arkansas’s Board of Education made plans to comply with the Supreme Court decision beginning in the 1957-58 school year. Although the plan called for gradual integration in only one school, African Americans hoped that school integration would be a step toward gaining full civil rights. The African American students who enrolled in Central High School hoped for increased educational opportunities. The audacity of those hopes helped sustain the nine students through a year of taunts, threats, harassment, violence, and retaliation for their pioneering efforts. As a sophomore, Carlotta Walls was the youngest of the nine black students to attend Central High in 1957. She was also one of only two students to return to Central High in her senior year and graduate from that institution. Carlotta then left Little Rock to pursue a college education and eventually a career in real estate. The desegregation experience was a seemingly closed chapter in her life. When the story resurfaced as a made-for-TV movie in 1980, Walls LaNier was living in Colorado with her husband and two children. She had not yet told the story to her children and had failed to mention it to even close friends. Like Walls LaNier, the other students who desegregated Central High in 1957 had all moved on from Little Rock, pursuing education, careers, and family life outside of Arkansas.

This collection of cases was the culmination of years of legal groundwork laid by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in its work to end segregation. None of the cases would have been possible without individuals who were courageous enough to take a stand against the segregated system. Briggs v.

Initially, parents had only asked the county to provide school buses for the Black students as they did for Whites.

Reading Level: 8th Grade Also Available in e-Book “Carlotta Walls LaNier’s A Mighty Long Way is a riveting account of nine brave high school students and their families in a quest for quality desegregated public education. What happened in Little Rock in 1957 resulted in America’s greatest constitutional crisis since the Civil War. Carlotta’s account of events inside and outside Little Rock Central High School should be read and studied particularly by those who now walk through doors of opportunity which Carlotta and her schoolmates first opened over 50 years ago. When I started her book, I couldn’t put it down. It is a must-read.” —James L. “Skip” Rutherford III, Dean of University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service note to teachers Carlotta Walls LaNier’s book, A Mighty Long Way, begins with a simple and powerful premise: that education is priceless; and ends with an equally powerful conclusion: that every individual has the power to make a difference. When Carlotta Walls LaNier’s teacher passed around a sign-up sheet for those who wished to attend the previously all-white Little Rock Central High School, which had achieved a reputation as one of the best high schools in the nation, LaNier signed her name without hesitation.
