The Little Rock Nine 50 Years Later: Elizabeth Eckford Portraits

LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS - SEPTEMBER 13: Elizabeth Eckford poses for a portrait on September 13, 2007 in front of the main entrance of Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. Threading her way though an angry mob as the Arkansas National Guard looked on, Eckford was the first of nine black schoolchildren to make history on September 4th, 1957 when she arrived, alone, for the first day of classes at the all-white high school.
