 Rating:  - Shadows of Darkness PastThe story of Melba Patillo Bates' struggles as a part of the "Little Rock Nine" to integrate Central High School serves as a haunting reminder to the American public, especially the South, which sometimes turns a blind eye to its unpleasant past.

So hard to read though - people can be horrible. I hope we have come a long way since this.

Everything that Beals writes is based on fact, and it is very terrifying to imagine that this is what she and the other young black students faced when segregating into an all-white school. This is a must-read, and is a well-written, terrifying look into the world before blacks and whites could be as one in a school. It's a must read!
