Women’s  History Month

omen,D March Women’s History Month Lecture 2008     RETURN TO LITTLE ROCK Minnijean Brown Trickey of the Little Rock Nine Little Rock, Arkansas, September 1957. Minnijean Brown Trickey and eight other young African-American students cross the threshold of Little Rock Central High, and into history. In one of the defining moments of the civil rights movement, and in defiance of the state, the governor, and armed troops, they took their rightful place in what had been until that moment a whites-only institution. Drawing on her experiences as one of the most articulate and forceful members of the Little Rock Nine, Minnijean Brown Trickey provides audiences with a fascinating exploration of social change, diversity, and the battle against discrimination and racism. Realistic, but at the same time hopeful, she helps her listeners to understand both how far we have come from that fateful autumn in Little Rock, and how far we have still to go, in the battle for freedom and equality in America.
