SUMMARY:Little Rock Central: 50 Years Later
DESCRIPTION:
 In 1957, Little Rock Central High School became 
 a symbol of the struggles and hopes of the 
 Civil Rights Movement. Nine African-American 
 students were prevented from entering the building 
 by an angry mob of whites outside the school. 
 After 50 years, it is a stark reminder 
 of the steps that still need to be made toward 
 equality. The HBO Documentary Film, Little 
 Rock Central High: 50 Years Later, is an eye-opening 
 look at racial equality, education, 
 and class at the landmark high school today, 
 where educational equality remains elusive. Filmmakers 
 Brent and Craig Renaud began filming 
 as the school and the nation prepared for the 
 50th Anniversary of the famous Integration 
 Crisis 1957. The film follows present day Central 
 High students and faculty both in and out 
 of school, along with community leaders and 
 one of the original "Little Rock Nine," who 
 reflects on how much -- and how little -- has 
 changed since she courageously crossed the 
 school's steps nearly half a century ago.\n
