Student Analysis
Effects of rights and responsibilities on Little Rock Nine:
The right for African American students to go to schools that had students of the Caucasian ethnicity was a great controversy during 1957. A fact is that before the segregation that caused a huge stir in Little Rock, all African Americans and Caucasians shared different school and many different facilities. I believe that the separation of two races is very wrong, especially when one is thought less of because of their color. The fight for racial equality must have been the best fight the nine African American students thought they could fight because they never held back from trying to achieve peace with those who hate them for the younger generations of their ethnicity. Through mental and physical torture these student kept on going towards their goal of showing the world what they are made of.
Maybe these kids didn't know at they time but they also fought for the opportunity for everyone to receive an equal education no matter what their family income is, their color, or their abilities. Yes nowadays, later down the road, if you have talents, it will be easier for you to get into a better school without having to pay as much as others but from kindergarten to senior year at high school, you are with everyone else. You can't put down someone because of who they are and have others embrace your behavior. Today we are encouraged to improve and with that improvement, we have reached great success in our academics and our lives. The old disadvantages to being born they way you were are gone in the school system. You go to the closest school you can and you get into classes where teachers don't teach or treat you differently because of your skin. That's another thing the Little Rock Nine have helped to give us.

The responsibility of authority figures to protect those they have power over of is vital to mankind. If it weren't for the populations to be protected by their leaders, much havoc and chaos would come about. When the nine African American students tried to attend Central High for the first times they were met by military and angry mobs. Some of the angry mobsters screamed and yelled at the students as they walked past. There was even an incident of an African American reporter being attacked by multiple Caucasian attendees of the event. Ask yourself, hypothetically: When dropping your children off at school, would you expect and condone to the act of hot soup being poured onto them? Would you agree with letting the child who did that to yours get away with a two day suspension while you're child got a much longer suspension for a similar act? This was a giant wake up call to those who had the chance to help but didn't. After their passive behavior they saw what they had done by effect of doing nothing. Now in schools, if such brutality was met with minimal punishment, you'd have a nasty lawsuit on yours hands.
