Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site
The Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site is located in Little Rock, Arkansas. It was the site of a significant event in the American civil rights movement when, in 1957, nine African American students, known as the Little Rock Nine, attempted to integrate the previously all-white school. Their efforts were met with resistance, leading to a national crisis that highlighted the struggle for civil rights in the United States.
Today, the site serves as a museum and educational center, preserving the history of the integration efforts and promoting discussions about civil rights and equality. Visitors can explore exhibits that detail the events surrounding the Little Rock Nine and the broader context of the civil rights movement.
