The Embattled Ladies of Little Rock 1958-1963, The Struggle to Save Public Education at Central High Paperback - 1999
by Vivion Lenon Brewer
From the jacket flap
In September 1957, Governor Orval Faubus drew the battle lines, ordering the National Guard to bar admission to nine black students seeking to enter Little Rock's previously all-white Central High School. Integration would not come easily to a state whose governor was backed by well-armed soldiers, club-wielding sheriffs with fire hoses and attack dogs, and good old boys swinging baseball bats.
We are fortunate that Vivion Lenon Brewer, cofounder and first chairperson of the WEC, kept a journal of the struggle, retaining nearly all correspondence, journals, newsletters, campaign strategies and meeting notes, to chronicle the battle and offer organizational tools to future organizations that would engage in the unending struggle for equality and diversity.
