Warriors Don't Cry

Melba Pattillo Beals grew up on adolescence and had to fight the most brave war in history. No, not a war in the battlefield entrenchment, it is a war in American high school building - a color fight. Melba is one of nine black students who participated in one of the most important civil rights movements in American history. On September 4, 1957, nine black students were called Little Rock Nine and participated for the first time at the All White School in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Melba Pattillo Beals's book "Warriors not cry" explains the reactions and emotions she and the other eight African-American teenagers receive in Little Rock. Arkansas abolished apartheid era in 1957. She talks about 9 students from the age of 16 and begins to write a diary until she is the last few days of Little Rock's Central High School. The story began with Melva talking about the anger, hatred, sadness she brought when she returned to Central High School for the first time and reunited with the other eight classmates.

The story "Warriors do not cry" is about Melba and her classmates, a young girl from the African American. This story takes place in Little Rock, Arkansas, in a very isolated period. Melba and her eight classmates were the first black students to challenge the isolation of public schools. Throughout this book, nine students were abused, only strengthened and became a powerful fighter plane. After all, Melba and her classmates are extremely pleased that Ernest Green graduated and forever changed the history of America.

This year's journey began in the summer when I read the novel "Warriors Do not Cry" by Melba Pattillo Beals who recorded the experience of collapsing the Little Rock City public school of Little Rock Nine and many other efforts. This reading is a framework for the critical investigation of our students on the history of our country from civil war to civil rights era. Inspired by Little Rock 9 and the Civil Rights Movement, students will review the UN Universal Declaration on Human Rights. After that, the students of the eighth grade of each elementary school will identify the human rights problems that constitute their question, and then join with colleagues who share the same will. Within 6 months, students research information related to their problems, volunteer in the organization of New York City, interview with experts in that field, and announce their experiences on the blog. Students write a column about their subject, submit it to the New York Times, and create a PSA for their problem.
