Simple, Not Easy
A Conversation with Dr. Terrence Roberts
Thusday, March 4, 2010 at 7:00pm
You are invited to join us for Simple, Not Easy. Take a step into one of the most historic and defining chapters of the Civil Rights Movement. The Supreme Court’s landmark decision, Brown vs. Board of Education, struck down segregation in our nation’s schools. Yet, three years later, our schools remained segregated. Nine courageous black students emerged and dared to challenge racial segregation in public schools by enrolling in the all white Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. Under the protection of 1,000 U.S. Army Paratroopers and against thousands of angry protesters they began their year at Central High. They would become known as the Little Rock Nine.
Hear Dr. Terrence Roberts, one of the Little Rock Nine, talk about his decision to become one of the Nine, what he endured at Central and his powerful message for today. Dr. Roberts is the author of the new book Simple, Not Easy.
