John A. Kirk is professor of U.S. history at Royal Holloway, University of London. He is the author of Beyond Little Rock: The Origins and Legacies of the Central High Crisis; Martin Luther King Jr.; and Redefining the Color Line: Black Activism in Little Rock, Arkansas, 1940-1970. He is also the editor of Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Civil Rights Movement: Controversies and Debates.
The issues that combined so explosively in Little Rock in 1957 continue to roil American politics and law. That is why Americans continue to study what happened there for some insight into who we really are and where we are headed in this new century. The issue is still how to take race out of the equation when it comes to educating every American child." —From the foreword by Juan Williams, senior correspondent for National Public Radio and author of Thurgood Marshall: American Revolutionary and Eyes on the Prize: America's Civil Rights Years, 1954—1965
