The Little Rock Nine

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

This photo was taken on September 4, 1957 when 15-year-old Elizabeth Eckford was pursued by a mob on her first day of school at Little Rock Central High School.
 
Eckford was one of nine students who first integrated the school - the result of the groundbreaking Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court case.
 
The group became known as The Little Rock Nine. More on our Black History Photo Of The Day: http://huff.to/VFmN57
