This lesson plan will familiarize high school students with the history of racial segregation in American schools, and introduce them to the bravery of nine African-American students who forever changed the course of American education. The activity consists primarily of reflection questions which allow the student to consider the rationale behind the Supreme Court's decision in Brown vs. Board of Education, the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment, and the acts of the Little Rock Nine as seen through photos of Ms. Eckford and her subsequent comments.
