LITTLE ROCK, USA 1957
GETTY
PATH TO FREEDOM During the attempt to desegregate American society, Elizabeth Eckford – one of the first nine African-American students to enroll at Little Rock Central High in Arkansas – walks defiantly to the school gates. Meanwhile, a number of white students (supported by sympathetic members of the National Guard) line her way, jeering “Two, four, six, eight, we don’t want to integrate!”. She failed to enter school that day.
