Elizabeth Eckford was born. She made history as a member of the Little Rock Nine, a group of nine African-American students who desegregated Little Rock Central High School in 1957. The image of fifteen-year-old Eckford walking alone through a screaming mob in front of Central High propelled the crisis into the nation’s living rooms and brought international attention to Little Rock (Pulaski County).
