Elizabeth Eckford

That's right

... another 15-year-old, Elizabeth Ann Eckford, met a similar fate.

She was one of the Little Rock Nine-

Yeah

First day I went to Central High School, it was an incredible mob that threatened to hang me, my mother, and all of us.

A mob that did get close to Elizabeth Eckford and of course spat all over her.

So there was ugliness there.

We found out after the first couple of days there that we were, it was gonna be difficult.

Three members of the Little Rock Nine reunited Friday for the 69th anniversary of the desegregation of Central High School.

Elizabeth Eckford, Carlotta Walls Lanier, and Dr. Terrence Roberts reflected on their role in strengthening equal protection rights for students in the 1950s.

Lanier says the nine's integration at Central High solidified the 1954 Supreme Court decision in Brown v.

Board of Education, which ruled racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional.

The image was, became sort of iconic.

The famous picture of Elizabeth Eckford, who by the way is still alive today, she's 84 years old.

Ejimer, she told the story of Elizabeth Eckford having to go to that school alone on the first day of integration because her family didn't own a phone.

And the other eight students who were being integrated that day, the other black students integrated into this otherwise all-white high school, went together as a group because their families had phones and so it could be planned.

And in the famous photograph, she says she is standing alone in a skirt and a summer blouse and a belt.
