Warriors Don’t Cry Intro

• Title: Warriors Don’t Cry• Author: Melba Pattillo Beals• Copyright: 1994• Genre: Non-fiction• Sub-Genre: History, Civil Rights • Characters: High School kids, adults/parents• Protagonist: Melba and Little Rock Nine• Antagonist: Classmates, society, laws, racism

Melba Pattillo Bio• Melba Pattillo was born in Little Rock, Arkansas December 7, 1941. Her

parents were divorced when she was seven, and she lived with her mother and grandmother. Melba's mother, Dr. Lois Pattillo, was an English teacher, and one of the first black students to integrate the University of Arkansas.

• Melba was 12 years old on May 17, 1954 the date the Supreme Court ruled in "Brown vs. Board of Education" that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional. Just over a year later, on May 24, 1955, the Little Rock school board adopted a plan to limit integration to Central High School, but claimed this would not occur for another two years.

• When the time came to sign up for Central High, Melba raised her hand and put her name on the sheet. She and eight other students became the “Little Rock Nine” and were the first black students to attend Central High.

School. Although all of the nine experienced verbal and physical harassment during the 1957-1958 school year at Central, Brown was first suspended, and then expelled for retaliating against daily torment. In February of 1958, she moved to New York and lived with Doctors Kenneth B. and Mamie Clark, African-American psychologists. She graduated from New York's New Lincoln School in 1959.

Brown attended Southern Illinois University and majored in journalism. She later moved to Canada, where she received a Bachelor of Social Work in Native Human Services from Laurentian University and a Master of Social Work from Carleton University in Ontario, Canada.

Elizabeth Eckford • Born on October 4, 1941, and is one of six children. The image of 15-year old Eckford,

walking alone through a screaming mob in front of Central High School, propelled the crisis into the nation's living rooms and brought international attention to Little Rock.

On September 4, 1957, Elizabeth Eckford arrived at Central High School alone. She got off the bus a block from the school and tried to enter the campus, but was turned away by Arkansas National Guard troops. She then confronted an angry mob of people opposing integration, chanting, "Two, four, six, eight, we ain't gonna integrate." As she made her way down the block, Eckford attempted two more times to enter the school campus, but was blocked by the guardsmen, who were there under orders from the governor to keep them out. Eckford made her way through the mob and sat on a bus bench at the end of the block. She was eventually able to board a city bus, and went to her mother's job at the Arkansas School for the Deaf.

Because all of the city's high schools were closed the following year, Eckford did not graduate from Central High School. She joined the U.S. Army, and was able to earn her G.E.D. and returned to Little Rock in the 1960s to be closer to her parents. She attended Central State University in Wilberforce, Ohio. Eckford is an Army veteran, and has held various jobs throughout her life. She has been a waitress, history teacher, welfare worker, unemployment and employment interviewer, and a military reporter.

Bell RingerMultiple Meaning Words• The term "multiple meaning words" is loosely applied to written words

that can have more than one use or definition, and the intended use must be conveyed by the context, the other words in the sentence or paragraph.

Homographs are words that are written the same, but have different meanings and word forms, and may have different pronunciations. This is common where words such as "dance" or "cut" share the same spelling for their noun and verb forms.

Example : lead (the metal) and lead (the verb for going ahead). Without the sound difference, it may need to be clarified

3/4 Bell Ringer:1) Read each sentence. 2) Write the definition of how the word is used in

the sentence.3) Write an alternate definition of the word.

1. The problem might stem from his lack of studying.2. It struck me that maybe I could audition for the

play, too.3. The only piece of art in the bright yellow room was

surprisingly grave.

Ernest Green • Born in Little Rock, Arkansas, on September 22, 1941. Green made history as the only senior

among the "Little Rock Nine." His place in Arkansas' civil rights history was solidified when he became the first African-American to graduate from the previously all-white high school in May of 1958.

An active member of the community from an early age, Green regularly attended church. He was involved in the Boy Scouts and eventually became an Eagle Scout. He was a student at Horace Mann High School before volunteering to integrate all-white Central High School. Green persevered through a year of daily harassment by some of his fellow students to become the first African-American Central High graduate on May 25, 1958. Sitting with Green's family at the event was the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who attended the graduation virtually unnoticed.

After graduating from high school, Green attended Michigan State University, earning a bachelor's degree in 1962 and a master's degree in 1964 in sociology. Afterwards, he served as the director for the A. Phillip Randolph Education Fund from 1968 to 1977. He then was appointed as the assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Affairs during President Jimmy Carter's administration from 1977 to 1981. Currently, Green is Managing Director at Lehman Brothers in Washington, D.C. and has been with the company since 1987. He has served on numerous boards, such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation.

Green is married with three children. In 1992, Disney produced a television special, The Ernest Green Story, which is still popular for students of all ages today and used in classrooms around the world to teach about the Little Rock Nine.

Horace Mann High School before transferring to Central. Despite daily torment from white students at Central, she completed her junior year at the formerly all-white high school during the tumultuous 1957-58 year.

LaNier made history as the youngest member of the Little Rock Nine. Inspired by Rosa Parks, she had a desire to get the best education available by enrolling in Central High School. White students called her names and spat on her while armed guards escorted her to classes, but LaNier concentrated on her studies and protected herself throughout the school year. LaNier, along with all other Little Rock high school students, was barred from attending Central the next year when the Little Rock high schools were closed, but she returned to Central High and graduated in 1960.

LaNier attended Michigan State University for two years before moving with her family to Denver. In 1968, she earned a Bachelor of Science from Colorado State College (now the University of Northern Colorado) and began working at the YWCA as a program administrator for teenagers. In 1977, she founded LaNier and Company, a real estate brokerage firm. Her experience in real estate includes everything from constructing and remodeling properties to marketing and selling them.

LaNier is currently the president of the Little Rock Nine Foundation, a scholarship organization dedicated to ensuring equal access to education for African-Americans. She has also served as a trustee for the Iliff School of Theology. LaNier and her husband, Ira "Ike" LaNier, have two grown children.

Following his graduation from high school, Roberts attended California State University and was awarded a bachelor's degree in sociology in 1967. He went on to attend graduate school at the University of California at Los Angeles and received a master's degree in social welfare in 1970.

Following his graduation from SIU, Roberts moved to the Napa Valley and directed the mental health unit of St. Helena Hospital in Deer Park, California, for ten years. After this, Roberts accepted an invitation to join the UCLA School of Social Welfare as assistant dean. In 1994, he took a position of department chair of the psychology program at Antioch University, Los Angeles. As demands on his time increased, Roberts became program co-chair to concentrate on the activities of his management consulting firm. Currently, he is a faculty member at Antioch and travels widely sought-after speaker and consultant.

Roberts serves on the boards of the Economic Resources Center in Southern California, Pacific Oaks College in Pasadena, Eisenhower World Affairs Institute, and Little Rock Nine Foundation. He and his wife have two adult daughters and one grandson.

of the slaying of three civil rights workers.

Rosewood, Florida

• For fear of being caught in an extra-marital affair, a white woman accused a black man of assaulting her. Whites across the town took up guns against the black residents and at least six black residents were killed in the violence. Many residents fled and/or were evacuated to nearby Gainesville. The town was burned to the ground and the only remains are a plaque.

Jefferson Thomas

• Born in 1942 in Little Rock, Arkansas. A quiet young man with a sense of humor, Thomas was a track athlete at Horace Mann High School when he chose to volunteer to integrate all-white Central High School for the 1957-58 school year as a sophomore. The Nine were harassed daily by white students, and Thomas' quiet demeanor made him a target for bullies at the school. He graduated from Central high School in 1960 and eventually became an accountant for the United States Department of Defense. Thomas is now retired.

Gloria Cecelia Ray • Born September 26, 1942, in Little Rock. She was the third child of H.C. Ray, Sr. and Julia Miller

Ray. Mr. Ray was already a retired federal employee when Gloria entered Central High (he was born 1889, the son of a former slave). In the beginning of the century, it was he who founded the Arkansas Agricultural Extension Service for Negroes under the auspices of the US Dept of Agriculture; he had also studied and work for none other than the distinguished George Washington Carver and Booker T. Washington, before graduating from Tuskegee Institute. These facts strongly influenced Ray's choice to attend Central High School. She was 14 years old when she finished Dunbar Junior High School and registered to attend Central for her sophmore year. Ray, like the others of the Nine, was tormented by certain whitestudents who called her names, threw things, spit, vandalized her locker, and even pushed her down a flight of stairs. Still, like the others, she was determined to finish the year.

• In 1966, Gloria Ray married Krister Karlmark, a professor at the Institute of Design in Chicago. The same year, she joined the IIT Research Institute as Assistant Mathematician on the APT IV (robotics) project.

After graduating as patent attorney from Kungliga Patent in Stockholm, 1977, Ray Karlmark worked for IBM International Patent Operations as European Patent Attorney until 1981, when she moved to Belgium, and began working for N.V. Philips as CAD/CAM and Technical Product Documentation Specialist. From 1976 to 1994, Ray Karlmark founded and served as Editor-in-Chief of Computers in Industry, an international journal of practice and experience of computer applications in industry.
