About the show: "Warriors Don't Cry stars Almeria Campbell and recounts the courageous story of fifteen-year-old Melba, who endures violence and discrimination as she and eight other African-American students integrate Little Rock, Arkansas' Central High School. Melba and her fellow student-warriors - known as the Little Rock Nine - captured the world's attention in 1957 as they struggled and triumphed in pursuit of equal education. Themes of fear and courage, isolation and community, education, history, the family and the nation all come alive through Campbell's compelling portrayal of 21 characters."
