Dr. Stephen Meyer has chronicled the history of white resis- tance to housing integration during the first two-thirds of the twentieth century. From the author's perspective, the book is about housing discrimination and segregation-a conflict over residential space that is contested along racial lines between Blacks and whites. It is a story of Blacks seeking to gain access to, and occupy, housing in neighborhoods whites considered to be theirs, and whites' efforts to thwart, prevent, and deter those efforts and to exclude and expel Blacks from those neighbor- hoods.

  • 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.

  • In May of 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court Ruled in Brown V. the Board Of
    Advanced Placement Language and Composition Summer Assignment Welcome to the class. Please complete the reading and writing assignment BEFORE the first day of school. You must be prepared for that first day – bring the book and Reading Journal with you. Read the book Warriors Don’t Cry, a memoir of the battle to integrate Central High, a high school in Little Rock, Arkansas, by Melba Pattillo Beals. The book is available from a number of sources. You may find copies at Half Price Books, Barnes and Noble, or Amazon. There are more options, but the bottom line is you need to find a copy of the book as soon as possible. Story Summary In May of 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Brown v. the Board of Education of Topeka et al that racial segregation in the nation’s public schools is unconstitutional. Warriors Don’t Cry is a first-person account of one attempt to turn that ruling into a social reality. Melba Pattillo Beals was one of nine African American students chosen to desegregate Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, in the fall of 1957. Her memoir chronicles the terror and fear that marked her experiences and those of the other eight African American students who attended the high school that year. The book also documents their courage and determination. Critical Responses to the Book Warriors Don’t Cry has received much critical acclaim. In 1995, the American Library Association chose the book for its annual Notable Book award. The New York Times described the book as “vivid and moving, a reminder, as [the author] writes, that ‘the task that remains is to cope with our interdependence—to see ourselves reflected in every other human being and to respect and honor our differences.’” David Holmstrom, a critic for The Christian Science Monitor called it “a powerful, chilling account of what it was like to endure howling, redneck mobs, to be attacked physically and verbally, to be shot at, and to be continually hated and threatened.” Donna L.
