Little Rock Nine Memorial
The Little Rock Nine Memorial sits on the grounds of the Arkansas State Capitol, a bronze sculpture collection featuring 'the nine', the nine African American students enrolled at Little Rock Central High who began the process of desegregating the city's public schools in 1957. The nine students, Melba Pattillo, Elizabeth Eckford, Ernest Green, Gloria Ray, Carlotta Walls, Terrence Roberts, Jefferson Thomas, Minnijean Brown and Thelma Mothershed, have provided a comment on bronze plaques in front identifying themselves.
