It is now the summer time after attending at Central High. It has been a long and tough year but I stuck with it all to the very end. We were all known as The Little Rock Nine but the only one of us to graduate was Ernest Green. We were all very proud of him, but we are devastated that we can't return next year as all public school will be closed to prevent desegregation efforts. The nine of us were the 1st African Americans to attend Arkansas Central High School. Many people know us as the brave students that stood up to people which made a big difference. I'm glad to hear how people are proud of me I just wish others would have the same courage as me.
