1954 -
Activist. Civil Rights Leader.
At six years old, she made history by being the first black student to go to an all white school in the South. Her bravery inspires us to keep moving forward through negativity. Her story reminds us that our access to education is something that we should always value.
"I believe that history should be taught in a different way. History definitely should be taught the way it happened—good, bad or ugly. History is sacred. For me history is a foundation and the truth."
