  • Thank you Little Rock Nine......and thank you Shea Higgins!!

  • Thanks! this is perfect for my english presentation tomorrow ,-) Greets from Germany!

  • @4N0N1Y1M0U5 Thank you! It's really an honour to know it's getting used in presentations, may I ask what kind english presentation it is? I love knowing what it gets used for! Hallo from Arkansas!

  • @klhiggi1967 Hey, It was just some group work project on the Civil Rights movement for my English Class nothing special .-) But this video really helped me out! so thank you a lot! You wouldn't happen to go to Little Rock Central by any chance would you?

  • @4N0N1Y1M0U5 I do not got to Little Rock Central. I'm currently at the University of Arkansas. Thank you for your comments, I'm glad it helped you.

  • @klhiggi1967 well maybe you can answer my question anyways, on almost all the pictures there are 10ppl but werent they just 9?

  • I learned about this in 5th grade.... The Little Rock Nine are amazing!

  • OMG that was such an amazing presentation. I've learned sooo much. It's truly inspirational. makes me sad though. those white douche bags. I hate the mean white kids. hope their life sucks now. :)

  • Congratulations for your job Shea Higgins! I'm from France and I like to see that America is great country despite all the bad things conservatives have done! (I hope I do not mistake while talking of conservatives ^^")

    We all can/must act as moral human beings and treat each other with respect and love.

  • Lots of respect for those nine people who changed the history !!!!

  • Lots of respect for Eisenhower, the courts, and the attorney general in how they handled this.

  • Thanks for this it really is helping me for my speech project! :)

  • 1:40 I'm pretty sure Arthur Spingarn was president of the NAACP from 1940 to 1965. They never had a black person to sit in the president of the NAACP's seat until 1975.

  • 5:48 so mr. white man who's the one that looks like a monkey?

  • @TehKoolaidkid

    It 's comments like this that keep the racism going......Grow up.

  • im learning about this subject this nit and now i have more details to share out in class thanks!

  • Thank You! I have my History exam tomorrow and I am writing my essay on the Little Rock Nine and this was very helpful and informative :)

  • This helped a lot with my project on Elizabeth, thankyou!

  • what is the name of the song? its beautiful.

  • The little rock nine are an inspiration to us all

  • Thank You, Little Rock Nine

  • I had Summer Reading to do, & we had to read "Warriors Don't Cry" , The story Melba Patillo had told. After reading the book I wanted to find out more, & I have to say that this is fascinating. If it weren't for the Little Rock Nine, & other integration groups, we would be stuck in a country that would be no different then it was back then.

  • I think that it is wrong to treat people like that just because they are different color. I think it is ridiculous to have a huge army just to protect you from a group of people who are unfair to colored people. I also think that just because your at a white American school doesn't mean you have to treat them with disrespect like throwing food and making them hurtful comments and making them suffer. Maybe we all should keep in mind to treat people the way you would be treated .

  • This is an outstanding history project of the 50's civil rights movement...There are many deeply moving moments.The dignity of The Little Rock 9, the welcome to school, and the 101 airborne division being deployed so these kids could go to school...Great script and narration..

  • The link to this video was given to me in my lecture notes for my Sociology class. It was a really interesting and well made video. Well done!

  • That's a great little movie. Little Rock Nine def is part of the most important, recent history. Great video material and love the kids voice.

  • This is great project !! and I heartly want to thank those 9 students for doing it because of you guys we can read in same school and use same facilities !!!

    Thanks alot

  • Great inspireation for my umcomming history assignment. great job

  • @surgedark Blacks arent that much different from us.. they are humas as we are.. and I bet u might have friends that r black... how would u like ot be treated like shit for soo long u couldnt take it?

  • @SilverRuby445

    I would leave and go back to my homeland in that case

  • May 02, 2011

    Bravo Ms. Higgins and thank you for putting together a well made documentary. I can share this with my classmates @ Bowie State University Spring 2011 Dr. G Tikasingh History 115 Afro American History Since 1865.

    Peace,

    Anita Yawson

  • A couple months ago in my Social Studies class we were learning about Martin L. King, and about segregation. And the next day our teacher showed us this video on how badly the blacks were treated. Now look at todays society and you will definetly see a great change from that time long ago. Yes, people are still racist to this day, but people need to learn that we are suposed to be peaceful, not full of violence. Life and not Death. We are brothers and sisters not matter what race. We dont fight!

  • I met Terrence Roberts today :)

    he came to speak at my school campus CSUDH

  • Interesting video, helped me with my GCSEs over here in the uk :) shows how racists yanks used to be though! :( over some skin colour... pathetic

  • @fergiewergiexx Amazing video! :) well done. And it took great work from the abolitionist in UK to halt the end of slavery in uk (even today, racism remains around the world.) Despite the laws, "the courts can't change how ... people think about blacks, they have to change themselves." Cheers :)

  • congragulations on first place you deserve(ed) it

  • Is there a movie that has been done on the Little Rock 9? I saw some footage that seemed to be from one.

    Thanks, and great job.

    Lisa

  • Hey great job on this!!! It was very well put together and helped me better understand the Little Rock Nine.

  • Thank you for a great documentary. It answered the questions I had about the Little Rock Nine.

  • Thank you for a great documentary. It answered the questions I had about the Little Rock Nine.

  • Thank you very much I needed to know more about this for a project on Melba Patillo and you klhiggi1967 will be mentioned for all the more stuff I now know about this THANK YOU!

  • i love this because im from the rock..... and plus its very educational it shows how us black people had to struggle to recieve a decent education and todays society.... most kids dont get a F about school...... those how did was punished which is sooooo sad.... :( tear tear tear uggghhhhh makes me mad....

  • 9 people who watched this are racist bitches

  • Comment removed

  • Are these clips from a movie?

  • Excellent job!! I can't wait to show my students! You should be very proud of yourself! A+

  • I cry at what black people had to endure in those days. They made all of those sacrifices for us, so that we can have the freedoms we have today. Don't take that for granted.

  • haha, we watched this in history class

    good job

  • What is the name of the movie referenced?

  • nice

  • I am currently a social studies student teacher, and when my host teacher showed this video to her class of middle schoolers I felt like crying.

    I will definitely use this as a reference if I get the chance to teach this topic in the future.

  • I have to say, you did a better job telling the story than the my civics teacher AT Central High did.

  • I am a Social Studies teacher and I just want to say that this is the best video I have seen about the Little Rock Nine. I will be showing it to my class again this year.

  • Very good job! I will post it on our Facebook pages Fishwife Restaurant and Turtle Bay Taqueria

  • Question---- EEUU, in 1945 to 1949 people from EEUU has the goal to defeat the nazis, hitler, and a new empire(the third reich). But before the civil rights, EEUU, was the same as nazi germany, in those days the white people, who defeat hitler, do not use concentrate camp to kill, rape, murder, the black people. It is ironic how an idea of freedom, liberty dosen´t apply in the years of the WWII. Who was the liar, Hitler, or EEUU. Think about that. the lie still remain.

  • @GreatImperium Our forefathers didn't "arrange" slavery, they condoned it. If people in your community were carted off to concentration camps, YOU didn't kill them, but you condoned it.

    Slavery is so cleraly disgusting and evil, that there simply is no excuse to look on silently at the practice. Segregation was wrong. Religious terrorism, as it is practiced by many "Christians" to this very day, is wrong.

    Freedom of religion includes my freedom to abstain. Live with it and stop the terror!

  • Great Job!! Very informative!! Thank you for the upload!

  • THANK YOU, you have just helped me do my history homework :) my history teacher recommended we watch this but you should add more taggs because this vid is really helpfull

  • cool.

  • Amazing, great job. Purely Amazing with music, history, facts, etc.

  • Dumb KKK members "Go back to Africa" ?? what?!! Racist are so ignorant! It was their ancestors who brought Africans here by force in the first place!

  • That was a really cool video and really helped me understand the little rock high school story for my Black Civil Rights unit. It was really well done and effective.

    I dont understand how having African Americans at a school was such a big deal anyway?

  • Nice job, i liked it! where did you get the videos?

  • OMG girl u total save me from all this looking up the facts about little rock 9 ..... WELL SPOKEN ....this was VERy good ..thanks so much

  • wtf y white ppl gotta be like tat taT F UP 

  • @Toks091 not all white people "were" like that. im white and i personally LOVE black people. actually. i want to adopt a little black baby when i get married. this video made me cry. and in class when there was a kid who went to school in Virginia said that white people were racist. but i don't think in the 21st century people are this racist anymore. its has been an improvement since the last. 20-50 years. a HUGE improvement. so don't blame white people. just the idiot racists.

  • loved the video thanks for uploading

  • Where did you get the little video clips from?

  • alabamaconfederacy,I am a black person and your comments are just plain stupid

  • I HATE RACIST IGNORANT PEOPLE !!!

  • @YaRisbabe0707

    Got any statistics to back that up with. Name one majority white major city that comes close to crime as majority negro city.

  • Racism SUCKS

  • @mastouris69

    RACISM does suck and it's unfortunate that it persist in our society.

    But trust me living in close proximity to negroes and having to go to school with them is alot worse than racism.

  • Funny thing is those same liberals both negro and white do everything in their power to send their kids away from schools that have any significant negro population. Negroes run around schools terrorising humans who just want to learn and get an education. Negroes are schools selling drugs, doing drugs, extortion, rapes, stabbing, starting gangs, bullying, and doing what could be considered small scale terrorism. All the aforemention rarely happen amoung humans, but always amoungst negroes.

  • Very well done, young lady. As an African American I really appreciate what those brave nine people did at the time. This is a lesson for all Americans!

  • @chicagomarchingbands

    Yeah this is a lesson never let federal government intervine again.

  • i did a big project on this in my arkansas history class

  • Tnx for good info. :)

  • I've seen the same ugly faces of hate, fear and anger on the faces of the Tea Party rally recently in Alamogordo, NM.

  • Terrific job!

  • thankyou Little Rock Nine :)

  • it's one of those things that makes you wanna cry, but smile at the same time....

  • @EpicHotelAdverts this is so true, i felt tears rolling down but yet a big smile was plasted on my face :')

  • What aload of crap,now we have integration black on white crime rates soar,is that because of oppression ? Make your own mind up,affirmative action is racism against whites because is discriminates against whites,multiracialism will never work no matter what way you dress it up,history always repeats it's self that's nature and no matter what people try to do humans will always revert back to human nature,the more you suppress your feelings the more it eats you up inside.

  • Comment removed

  • Hey Folks , the civil war started because of slavery. Please listen again!!!!!

  • Lovely job Shea.

  • Eh, it's alright. Nice narration, the music is good as well. The videos somewhat match up to what you're saying. Nice clear pronounciation and articulation.

    4/5 vid. ;)

  • My deepest respect to Little Rock Nine and my greatest appreciation to you klhiggi1967, thanks 4 posting.

  • This was an amazing video that I will share with my 9th grade students! Fantastic job!

  • 5 stars great job I'm African American and I really apriciate how well u did on the video

  • I"m very moved you did a great job! Thank you for making the video it made so much sense and you did such a great job putting it together.

  • type in holy cross 2001

    similar to this still happens in the modern world

  • I mention Little Rock in The History Song.

  • Bravo Shea ! Great project. I'd be happy if one of my college students put this together.

  • THIS IS A GREAT VIDEO

  • wow my teacher told me to youtube this and dam.... it sad

  • i cried the whole time :'(

  • Incredible a beautiful project I know it was just that but it meant so much more

  • nice

  • amazing video, gave me great information on the topic. my ss teacher showed us this in class and it was very very sad. but it did have a great ending, and good background music by the way. it would be awesome if you could reply. fine job on the info, too.

  • Oh! This vid is so touching, and amzaing! I didn't know anything about Little Rock (I'm French) but it seems so interesting! I can't believe it happened in a country which will have a black president a half century later! I ♥ U.S.A :D

  • omg! those r clips of "The Ernest Green Story" we're watching it in class...

  • I wish I could watch stuff like this in my history class but sadly my school doesn't teach about African Americans who did positive things. They only teach us about slaves and how they were mistreated which makes me so mad bc we have been successful over the years and shouldn't always be represented as slaves in history class.

  • A lot of schools, public and private, do a poor job of teaching about the civil rights movement. If you have the time, want to learn about more of these kinds of events and can find a library that has it, check out the documentary series "Eyes on the Prize." It's a phenomenal and huge documentary on the civil rights movement. Good stuff that I wished they showed in more class rooms.

  • @kyrahjay12

    you dont need school to teach you about positive AA history (unless you are doing a college degree in the subject) use the library or internet to research. Concentrate on your school curriculum just like the Chinese/Asian (who by the way don't get taught Asian history in school) If you focus on your core subjects successfully, you will have the time to learn a lot more about AA and African history

  • @kyrahjay12 I am a retired history teacher. I wish that I could have had you in my classes.

  • Thankyou so much for uploading this video!

    I am a sixth former (aged 16) in England, and for a section of my history A-Level, we are learning about Civil Right in the USA.

    I would just like to personally thankyou for this as it hads helped me understand the results of this campaign.. Thanks Again!

  • I cried at the last part...LOL.

    really touching clip. loved it!

  • Bravo!

    from Laurentian University sudbury Canada who are proud of our most heroic alumni Minnijean Brown.

    To fight injustice anywhere is to fight it everywhere. God bless you for your courage.

  • Wonderful project. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it :]

  • right on sista, even as glib as that sounds as a whiteman ;]

  • This is truly a wonderful documentary of the Little Rock Nine. If you ask me, this doesn't deserve a five star rating, but a ten star rating. ^^ Love the music you chose for it. Makes it sound heroic.

  • im reading this book for school ...but watching this video made me tear its so sad

  • wow thats pretty friggin awesome. those white people who beat them up and stuff suck.

  • Actually Minnijean Brown got hit with a bag full of locks and then she said leave me alone and two cuss words and thats why she got expelled. I know this because i heard her speak today to my school.

  • Powerful!

  • Takes balls to Go to an all white school

    at a time when the majority of americans

    were racist.

  • ha blacks weren't American's??

  • When Did I say that?

  • Awesome Job! Well done!  Well done!

    BLESSINGS!

  • i think ruby bridges was more courages because she a 1ST GRADER integrating an all white schhol, BY HERSELF.

  • okay.

    then you go make a documentary about her.

    this was my topic of choice.

  • @klhiggi1967 u know im doin little rock nine for history fair lol

  • The movie showed a lot of grisly scenes

    White guys put glass in the shower when blacks would shower, then removed the glass when they called the principal so theyd get in trouble.

    and in the mob scene, some fat chick holds a sign that says "KKK" in the faces of the kids.

  • @luisa1994 but those ppl cant do that much damage as highschoolers

  • im going to recommend we watch this vid in my history class. we are currently going over events of the civil right movement.

    great job. A+ material and great editing

  • I dont know how anyone could be so cruel! i can't understand it its pure evil plain and simple.

  • A+ is all i have to say.

  • i just read melba's story "warriors dont cry"

    i cheer the little rock nine. i couldnt have done what they have done. but they teach me that i should not be afraid to stand for decency and righteousness. if ever i see what the little rock nine had to endure, i swear I would not step away. thanks again for their courage.

  • that was a very good book.

    i enjoyed it alot.

    their courage will be known for generations to come.

  • Your words ring just as true as Mebla's.  Thank you for YOUR courage.

  • heyyy u make this vid mix very georgious. thank you!!!

  • Thanks. This has helped me with my homework

  • *chills*

  • God bless these people fight for us

  • man, my psychology professor showed this in class and i cried!

    i felt like such a loser for crying but idk its just so sad.

  • Wow.

    may i ask what school this was shown at?

    I think its really neat when my video is shown.

    I'm glad you liked it.

  • it was a cuny college in NYC.

    are you shea?

    i hope you got a good grade on this!

  • Very awesome. tell your professor i said thank you for showing my video, I am honoured.

    Yes this is shea!

    yes i did, thanks.

  • Shea, this documentary you made was very well executed. Great job!

  • what a beautiful documentary...it just show how we "blacks" were treated and how we passed above all of them... today, we still suffer from racism, but we know that our life belong to us not no anyone even whites.... thank you for your documentary, i am gonna use it as resource to defend my work in NAACP- National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

  • thank you so much

  • Kudos to you Shea. This is such a fantastic video. I will show it to my students today. I hope they are as impacted by your words and video as I was. This is simply a fantastic and scholarly endeavor.

  • I hope they know that they r heroes thank you guys we will always remaember u

  • Excellent video. Racism is a plague that needs to be destroyed.

  • I went to Little Rock in February of 2008 because I wanted to see the Presidential Library and Little Rock High. It was a interesting to see the Librar but it was breathtaking to go to Little Rock High. The Little Rock Nine are heroes in a shameful part of American History. You will always be remembered with pride while the racist will look shameful.

  • I just want to say if you don't have anything that is worth saying then please don't post it. And if what you have to say isn't positive, we don't need it here. Remember I made this in the 9th grade, there will be errors. Don't put me down for it.

  • Thank you for uploading this incredible video, more amazing still is that it was at a 9th grade level. I have used (and credited) this video in one of my university essays for Canterbury Christ Church Universtiy, England.

    Thank you again.

  • Eh. There's technically some misinformation, such as, the National Guardsmen didn't escort them from class to class, the Army Paratroopers did. Segregation really started in the late 1800s, when federal troops were withdrawn from the south and could no longer protect freed slaves, and southern governments started passing segregation laws, until 1896 when the Supreme court basically said that segregation was legal. Slavery itself began in the the Americas in the early 1600s.

  • This is an incredible video - PLEASE add your voice to the discussion and post it on Remix America!

  • thankyou for this fantastic work!!!

  • Very well done. I was looking for a little information, this video gave me a lot. I was curious about how our nation was during Civil Rights. I like the music too, and ignore the stupid comments by ignorant people. There are still people who do not accept.

  • boring

  • Aaaa.... "So thank you little rock nine"

    So moving! Seriously, i've got tears in my eyes!

  • lol thats some funny stuff right their.lol

  • thank you so much this really helped me with my project :)

  • KKK is such a shame, they make me be ashamed of being an American sometimes, how can someone be sooo extremely ignorant? How can they thoughts that are soo cruel? I don't get it, I really don't why? Why? Do they love torture and hate? Such terrible things that people have gone through, because another can't accept them, for their color of skin, what a horrific way to judge someone. I am at a lost for words.

  • Some human brains never evolved. There primitive.

  • Damn your so defensive you didn't even pay attention to my comment...

  • @HersheyGirl4301 I completely agree, but I doubt you're lost for words....

  • good job. this made me cry. i can't believe people today are still so racist.

  • the kkk is soo retarded!! how can they tell us to go back to Africa and theyre the ones who brought us here?!?!?!? psh they need to go find their ancestors.. i know not everyone is like that but daaanngg!!

  • what do you mean white ppl were good for nothing to black ppl? when they brought us over here who do you think made all the crops that were sold from the plantations flourish so america could prosper economically? without African Americans (And just about every other race) america would be nothing like it is today.. so how can you say black ppl were good 4 nothing to white ppl? They might have treated us lik we were worthless animals but our race was a rather large part of Creating America

  • This is so sad.
