this case of fighting for the white kids and the African American kids to be in the same school, reminds me so much of the story of "The Little Rock Nine".
in the little rock nine, 9 black students went to an all white school, and every morning were tortured for it. they even had to go to school with the national guard next to them for protection because white parents were being outragous, obnoxious, ignorant, and threatful. these kids could have easily lost their lives just for having the courage to attend that school.
so i am glad that there have been others such as Oliver Brown to also fight for this cause.
