This article, released by "Facing History and Ourselves", talks about a historical incident, which affected the education system forever, called the  Little Rock 9. These 9 kids from Little Rock Arkansas, were segregated within the pedagogical education system during the 1950's and 1960s. This article also provides a workshop that can help teachers teach this important event in the classroom. 

These 9 kids, Melba Pattillo, Ernest Green, Elizabeth Eckford, Minnijean Brown, Terrence Roberts, Carlotta Walls, Jefferson Thomas, Gloria Ray, and Thelma Mothershed, were a parring that tested the Constitution and its accuracy with the education system. During 1954, Brown v. Board of Education had been enacted, which stated the segregation of schools was unconstitution. However, time went by and there was little progress with desegrating schools with the deadline that Congress was hoping for, which is why Brown v Board of Education was opened back up again, which helped accelerate the desegregation process. Although Brown v Board of Education was the first Constitutional Act to be enacted into law, the activism of Little Rock 9 and their protesting is what should be advocated when learning about African American history.
