Little Rock Nine Members to Receive the 2015 Lincoln Leadership Prize, 5/18
by Matt Smith - Apr 7, 2015

CHICAGO, April 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library Foundation (ALPLF) announced today that it will award its prestigious Lincoln Leadership Prize to the Little Rock Nine, a group of nine schoolchildren whose attendance at Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, marked the end of racial segregation in U.S. public schools. On September 25, 1957, the group received a federal troop escort by the 101 st Airborne Division as they integrated the school following the Brown v Board of Education Supreme Court decision in 1954. Their actions that day, and since, have helped to define the civil rights movement.
