Thesis Statement

The African American female me and my partner (BRIANA) are working on is Elizabeth Ann Eckford. She is a woman of color who has fought for something that she feels is right. She was the first African American student to enter Little Rock Central High 50 Years ago. My position on this incident is that despite the obstacles she faced as an African American woman in the segregated world, of the 1950's, Elizabeth Ann Eckford had enough courage to attend Little Rock Central High, an all white school which threatened, hated, and put her through hell. Here is a video that shows you what Elizabeth was going through.
