A civil rights activist who played a pivotal role in desegregating American schools spoke Wednesday evening in a packed Schofield Auditorium at UW-Eau Claire, sharing lessons and wisdom from an era she fears young people are forgetting.
On Sept. 25, 1957, 16-year-old Minnijean Brown Trickey walked through the front doors of Central High School in Little Rock, Ark., effectively changing the course of education in American as she helped desegregate the school. However, she said Wednesday she is concerned that students don't know the story of the teenagers, dubbed the Little Rock Nine.
