One of the "Little Rock Nine" Passes

[guido911]

This event was one of the most significant civil rights events of the past century, in my opinion.

Jefferson Thomas, one of the so-called "Little Rock Nine," the nine students who integrated Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, in 1957, has died, according to Carlotta Walls LaNier, president of the group's foundation. He was 67.
