Marcia ChatelainGUEST
It could be a risk of physical violence.
Marcia ChatelainGUEST
It could be a risk that Someone found out that your child protested at Jackson State, and so you no longer have a job as a sharecropper, or that your children tried to integrate a public school, like in the case of the Little Rock Nine in Little Rock, Arkansas, and then you lose your job, that a rumor that you registered to vote could lead for the loan on your property or your truck to be called up by the bank.
Marcia ChatelainGUEST
And so every act had some type of risk.
Marcia ChatelainGUEST
And in the case of women like Rosa Parks, they take the risk on behalf of the movement.
Brian CraigHOST
Those kids were Democrats, those white kids screaming at those black kids that were the first black kids to be integrated into.
Brian CraigHOST
at Little Rock High School, those white kids were radical Democrats hurling the N-word at black Republicans, the Little Rock Nine, thank you very much, someone in the live chat.
Brian CraigHOST
You go and look at, they were Democrats, the white kids were Democrats screaming the N-word and God knows what else at those young black high school students who were Republicans who were being integrated into their school.
Brian CraigHOST
And you know, we could do this all day with the Democrats.
Vince Everett EllisonGUEST
Please, boss, can we go to school with you? Please, boss, can we sit on the toilet beside you? Please, boss, can we eat with you? Please, boss, can we go to your college? We wanted to leave Morehouse, Tuskegee, and Fisk to go to Mississippi State and Ole Miss.
Vince Everett EllisonGUEST
fought for it, got bull whipped, treated terribly, the Little Rock Nine.
Vince Everett EllisonGUEST
It was ridiculous what we did.
Vince Everett EllisonGUEST
And the whole world looked at us with contempt.
Lee KnappGUEST
He was a student leader, but we watched this documentary about the civil rights movement in America.
Lee KnappGUEST
And when the Little Rock Nine, they called them, you know, that were the first high school students, black high school students to integrate in Little Rock, Arkansas.
Lee KnappGUEST
And the video was showing just how mean all the people were in the 1950s to these nine evidently really, really accomplished smart students that were coming in.
Lee KnappGUEST
So it was really scary.
Michael Eric DysonGUEST
And when you think about A&T and you think about the history of Greensboro, the sit-ins, it's always been young people leading the way.
Michael Eric DysonGUEST
whether it was the Freedom Riders on the buses or John Lewis and Diane Nash or the Nashville movement, the Greensboro movement, the Little Rock Nine, young people have always led the way.
Michael Eric DysonGUEST
And in this repressive time with an authoritarian government that is seeking to arrest politicians on the eve of a vote, which is highly unusual and against that policy, We have to reinforce the necessity of HBCUs leading the way and voting.
Michael Eric DysonGUEST
And Dr. Davis is absolutely right.
PlatonGUEST
It's a great privilege, first of all.
PlatonGUEST
But the nicest thing that happened, if I'm going to be really honest... is part of that portfolio was the Little Rock Nine.
PlatonGUEST
And yes, that picture is in the Smithsonian to inspire a new generation.
PlatonGUEST
But the best thing for me is that that picture is also a mural, been made into a mural that we made with my foundation that hangs in the Little Rock canteen where all the kids have lunch these days.
PlatonGUEST
And so
Adam GrantADVERTISER
that actually is magical.
PlatonGUEST
I actually got a letter the other day from the daughter of one of the Little Rock Nine.
PlatonGUEST
And she thanked me from her heart for capturing her mom in that what turned out to be the last portrait of them all standing together.
Margaret RutherfordHOST
I was lucky enough to have a very special experience this past week.
Margaret RutherfordHOST
I heard Dr. Terrence Roberts, who was one of the Little Rock Nine, nine black students who had the courage to enter an all-white, segregated school, Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas.
Margaret RutherfordHOST
They had police escorts, and I'm sure it was tremendously challenging.
Margaret RutherfordHOST
scary and took a lot of courage and resilience.
