@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?
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.
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.
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..
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 !!!
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. U.S.A 4EVER ^_^!
@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?
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.
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!
@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 :)
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....
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.
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.
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!
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
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?
@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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
the whites bought black people from africa to be SLAVES and they were slaves. blacks cried for freedom which they got in 1863 when lincoln abolished slavery, so what good were black people to white people then? nothing. so obviously they're gonna be racist and tell them to go back to africa
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
Thank you Little Rock Nine......and thank you Shea Higgins!!

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

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.

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.
klhiggi1967 2 years ago
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.

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.

the whites bought black people from africa to be SLAVES and they were slaves. blacks cried for freedom which they got in 1863 when lincoln abolished slavery, so what good were black people to white people then? nothing. so obviously they're gonna be racist and tell them to go back to africa

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
