Additional Details

These photographs begin with the first attempts by brave students to integrate Little Rock High School, where they were turned away by Arkansas National Guard troops. One seems especially timely today: two girls "watch biology film on television as the first of a series of televised classes began today for students locked out of their class rooms in integration dispute." Most of the photographs depict the arrival of the 101st Airborne Division and their work escorting students into the building on and after 26 September. With--3 later Little Rock civil rights-related photographs, 1959, 1963 and 1968.
