Summary: Melba Pattillo Beals endured abuse from mobs during the integration of Little Rock Central High School in 1957. The violence and protests were so severe that the National Guard was called in to protect her. In this episode, you will learn what it was like to grow up in Little Rock, Arkansas during the civil rights movement, Melba’s journey and her fight for equality, and the psychological effects of experiencing racism daily. I released this episode in 2017 and am re-releasing it now in an effort to shine a light and provide some backstory on what we are experiencing today. Website: www.mytalkingdollars.com
