Central High School Museum [AR]
In the summer of 1957, the city of Little Rock, Arkansas, decided to desegregate it schools, setting in motion the turn of events that defined the Little Rock Nine, and included protests, marches, riots, and threats of violence. The Central High School Museum chronicles the history of the 1957, the year of desegregation.
The museum offers visitors copies of the 1957 student newspaper, a variety of exhibits showcasing life inside Central High during 1957, and offers videos and other primary sources from the 1957 school year. The website offers a history of desegregation in Little Rock, as well as an events calendar, a timeline of events in 1957, and visitor information.
It looks like this site no longer exists as a visitor's center and is being renovated. Check back on this one.
