The Little Rock Nine

The motion picture The Little quake Nine is based on an crimsont that happened in the 1950s. The movie is based on the first time that a prepare allowed fateful students into an all white school. This event happened in Little Rock, Arkansas when a school allowed order sick teenagers into their school. In this essay you will read about the respect that the stark students got at the beginning of the movie and the respect they got at the end, how society has changed today, how this relates to the Hebrews experience, how this relates to moral values, and my psycheal experience on this theme.In the movie the nine vague students got no respected at all. The students were treated the same as every other black person at this point in time. The black students took abuse and bullying that no other person would be able to take. They got pushed, threatened, excluded from events and even spit on. This was the respect they got when they first came to the school. The guards stationed arou nd the school didnt even do much at times. They were afraid at times, because if they tried to retaliate they knew things would only stick to worse.Even raft outside the school tried to get the students out of the school. There were rallies and marches, mostly led by pargonnts, to get rid of the nine black students. Then things got even worse when bomb threats started coming in. Finally on of the students named Minnijean Brown started to fight back. Minnijean Brown was the first of the students to be targeted to recieve the most abuse. It started one day when she was just school principal to class and a group of girls blocked the door to her next class.She asked them politly to move and when they didnt she tried to move in between them, but she got pushed out of the way. That was the start of the incidents. Eventually Minnijean was expelled for dumping a bowl of chili on students head that was blocking her way and refused to move. Minnijean was upset by this because the white s tate of the community got exactly what they wanted. The next target was Ernest Green. Ernest was targeted next because he was a senior and, if he made it, would be the first black student to graduate from Central spirited School.The white students and parents did everything they could to prevent him from graduating. One female student even tried to get him to want her so she could say he harassed her,but Ernest graduated 1958. These two students are probably the most recognized two of the Little Rock Nine becausse of what happened to them. Society has changed alot since 1958 in umteen ways. The Central High School in Little Rock is now 50% black students. The fib of the Little Rock Nine relates to the Hebrews when they are in Egypt because they are being treated just like the nine black students.They were forced into labor every day and were beaten and spat on as well. This relates to moral values because everybody should be treated equal. Alot of people back then were Catholic, but they treated people diffrently, when everyone was actually the same. This relates to my personal experience because me and a friend of mine went through a little identification number of this last year. It wasnt as bad as the Little Rock Nine, but it hurt. My friend and I were excluded from games well-nigh games in P. E. , we took alot of hateful phrases, and other things.Then around graduation they stopped and things went back to normal. The Little Rock Nine is a good example of what black peolpe had to go through in that point in time. I think the Little Rock Nine was and still is a great example of how racialism can destroys people and their self esteem. And It similarly shows how brave some people were during the Civil Rights Movement. I also think it is very important that three of the Little Rock Nine graduated from Central High School which I think this is a great accomplishment. It also proves that blacks were able to do the same school work as whites.
