Today in Arkansas We visited Little Rock Central High School which was the first school in Little Rock to get desegregated in 1957. We then went to visit a monument representing the nine students who desegregated the school. At the end of the tour we met with Dr. Sybil Hampton who was the first African American to complete all three years of high school at Central. She told us about her struggles and what she took away from the experiences. She left me with some good points an very good advice. The one that stood out to me rhetorically most was "you never know what someone is going through, never exclude, disrespect, or ignore others." this is the one that had me thinking because I hear that all thwarting time but to hear from a victim along with her story really made me think about how I treat people and the decisions I make.
