Back in Little Rock,Arkansas,
there was still segregation.
But three boys and six girls,
would go and show the nation.
They stood and they waited,
to go into Central High,
until the racists at the door,
would let them by.
The students showed courage and bravery
having come a long way from slavery.
The racists were mad and protested hard
'til President Eisenhower called the National Guard.
The nation watched
in disbelief.
But as they entered,
sighed relief.
What started in Arkansas
with less segregation,
led to a nation
of more integration.
