E: The night before school started my mama made me a special dress to wear on my first day of school; I was so excited to finally be able to attend an integrated school. The night before I read the 27th psalm which reads, "The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid?" I thought i was prepared for whatever would come my way the next morning.
M: It was very brave of you to have that kind of
attitude. How did your morning go?
E: The morning of my first day of school all 9 of us were supposed to walk into Central High together, but I woke up late so I was not able to go to the meeting place. Walking into Centra High it was the longest block I ever had to walk. I tried to enter Central High two times but I was turned down by the Arkansas National Guard, who were ordered to stand there by
Governor Orval Faubus. I remember the crowd of the whites chanting "two, four, six, eight,
we aint gonna integrate", and them screaming the N word at me.
W: That is horrific; you are a very strong person to still stand up for your rights after that. How did you get through the rest of the year?
