Little Rock Nine
Surviving members of the Little Rock Nine, the students who integrated Central High School in 1957, speak with the media at the Clinton School of Public Service in Little Rock, Arkansas.
  • Two members of the Little Rock Nine criticized a state decision regarding an AP African American Studies course.
  • The state's Dept. of Education won't allow credits to count toward graduation for the pilot course.
  • The department says the course could run afoul of an anti-CRT order signed by Gov. Huckabee Sanders.

Two members of the Little Rock Nine — the group of Black students who in 1957 integrated the previously all-white Little Rock Central High School while being threatened by an angry mob — are blasting the Arkansas Department of Education over restrictions placed on an Advanced Placement African American Studies course set to be offered this year.
