Creator's Key Takeaways

The Little Rock Nine persevered and paved the way for racial equality in education.

By laying down their lives for the noble cause of civil rights, Evers and Teal have become immortal symbols of hope and courage for better days.

The more I travel the world, the more I appreciate how our similarities far exceed our differences.
