Today in history: Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas was integrated for the first time. The Little Rock Nine would go on to endure violent threats, harassment, and even have acid thrown on them. Their courage and bravery would pave the way for desegregation at schools.

When I was 10 (1973), my mom moved us from NY to Tulsa, OK. I attended Carver Middle School. At the time, it was considered an "experimental integrated school." It was also the best education I ever received. I look back on that experience with great fondness.
