Meet Elizabeth Eckford, one of the nine African‑American students ordered by a federal court to integrate Little Rock’s Central High School after legal action by the NAACP. On September 6, 1957, she walked alone toward the school, forced to endure a wall of screams, threats, and hatred from white students and adults who wanted her gone. She kept moving anyway.

This is Hazel Bryan (later Massery), the 15-year-old white student whose contorted, shouting face in the famous 1957 photograph became an enduring symbol of segregationist hatred.
