The landmark 1954 Supreme Court ruling, Brown v. Board of Education, brought the promise of integration to Little Rock, Arkansas, but it was hard-won for the nine Black teenagers chosen to integrate Central High School in 1957. They ran a gauntlet flanked by a rampaging mob and a heavily armed Arkansas National Guard-opposition so intense that soldiers from the elite 101st Airborne Division were called in to restore order. For Melba Beals and her eight friends those steps marked their transformation into reluctant warriors - on a battlefield that helped shape the civil rights movement.

Warriors Don't Cry, drawn from Melba Beals's personal diaries, is a riveting true account of her junior year at Central High-one filled with telephone threats, brigades of attacking mothers, rogue police, fireball and acid-throwing attacks, economic blackmail, and, finally, a price upon Melba's head. With the help of her English-teacher mother; her eight fellow warriors; and her gun-toting, Bible-and-Shakespeare-loving grandmother, Melba survived. And, incredibly, from a year that would hold no sweet-sixteen parties or school plays, Melba Beals emerged with indestructible faith, courage, strength, and hope.

This book has been the most important book I have ever read. Thank you Ms. Beals for your courage, your integrity and your willingness to live graciously through such harrowing and heart searing years; and for sharing your experiences with the world. I am humbled and hope to imbue your courage and compassion. thank you for letting me understand, as best I am able, what you lived through. Thank you for the many lessons in courage and faith; and for the window into the shoes of people and groups that face terrible racism, intolerance and more.

Such a powerful story with engaging narration. Highly recommend this book. I was so impressed by the teenagers and their families as well. They all exhibited such deep faith and determination. The vileness of the racist hatred made me sick.

Inspiring Courage

I'm definitely not a warrior since I cried a couple of times; and I'm not the type to cry easily. That should tell you how good is this book.

Great Book!
