Little Rock Central High. 50 Years Later
Description
A watershed moment in the civil rights movement occurred when federal troops enforced Brown v. Board of Education at Little Rock Central High School. What is Little Rock's legacy a half-century later? This program follows the lives of present-day Little Rock students, teachers, and administrators over the course of a year-going inside classrooms, observing assemblies, and visiting students' homes. Exposing the widely varying concerns and academic goals of black and white students, the film presents an unflinching view of the de facto segregation-all too visible in the racial makeup of Little Rock's Advanced Placement classes-that still plagues many American schools. As one educator observes, Little Rock is "two schools in one".
