Summary:
When 14-year-old Carlotta Walls walked up to Little Rock Central High School on September 25, 1957, she and eight other black students only wanted to make it to class. But the journey of the "Little Rock Nine" would lead the nation on an even longer and much more turbulent path, to challenge prevailing attitudes, break down barriers, and forever change America. The teenager volunteered to be among the first black students--she was the youngest--to integrate nearby Central High School.
