The A.R.A Publishers and Writers About Dasiy Bates

Daisy Bates was a civil rights activist, writer and publisher. She was the head of the NAACP Arkansas branch, Bates played a crucial roll in the fight against segregation, and in 1954, the United States Supreme Court declared that school segregation was unconstitutional in the land mark case known as Brown vs. Board of education. Even after that ruling some African American students who tried to enroll in white schools were turned away in Arkansas. Bates and her husband  chronicle this battle in their newspaper in 1951 she helped nine African American student to become the first to attend a white school which is call central high school in Little Rock and became known as the Lttle Rock Nine. I think this history is significant and appropriate that our class name is after this person is we know that its a person that Ms.Trenkle pick and we think that it is appropite to learn about different pepole but this is a great person.
