Sept. 23, 1957
Little Rock, Ark.

Listen to a recording of "The Lessons From Little Rock" by Terrence Roberts, given at the Huntington Library in 2006, in which he recalls his experiences as one of the "Little Rock Nine."

Someone yelled: "Look. They’re going into the school."
"Oh God. They’re in the school," a man roared.
A woman screamed "Oh my God" and burst into tears.
