I was just watching something about this on the local public station yesterday. I showed the memorial statues of the "Little Rock Nine", and told the story of the event.

Here is their web site - http://www.lrsd.org/centralhigh50th/default.cfm

This is a really good article too, with lots of photos from 50 years ago. http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/09/24/integration.anniversary.ap/index.html?eref=rss_mostpopular
