Little Rock Central High School
President Clinton speaks at the 40th anniversary of desegregation of Little Rock Central High School

A very  historic high school in Little Rock.  Almost 60 years ago there was a major integration conflict. On the morning of September 23, 1957, nine African-American teenagers held the line against an angry mob protesting integration in front of Little Rock's Central High School. As the students met their new classmates for the first time inside the school, outside violence escalated and the Little Rock police removed the Nine from the school for their safety. The next day, President Dwight D. Eisenhower ordered the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division into Little Rock to escort the nine students into the school.

Arkansas

Paul lives in a small town in Arkansas and he sent me this beautiful scene of the past showing a rusty old hay rake. I love old houses, old rusty farm equiptments, old rusty bicycles old rusty fences, but they also make me sad.

Torn Screen Door

"Came across an old farmhouse,

 Standing broken and bare.

It used to be someone's home,

Now no one lives there anymore. 

There's a red barn standing,

Held together with nails and dust,

And a tired old Massey-Harris,

All wires and rust

Weed overgrown in a garden

sown with care

It used to someone's home

Now no one lives there"
