I love this but there was a small mistake, there were actually supposed to be about 20 kids that were meant to go but protests ended up making all the kids except the nine quit, this just shows the bravery of these nine.
lmao i love how derek is so afraid to laugh when she starts cracking up in the middle of saying "hang you from a tree". hes like damn we got her too drunk.
legit. I went to school in Arkansas in the 90/early 2000's and never learned about the little rock nine at all. black history month only really covered emaciation, Harriet Tubman, a brief touch on the 50s and 60s in general and the white folks who helped. I learned more from these videos than I ever learned in school.
I love this but they left out Daisy Bates! If you see this comment, please google her. She WAS the reason those nine students ever got the chance to attend LR Central High. She was a civil rights activist in the 50s, the president of the Little Rock NAACP, and even ran a newspaper that exclusively covered the nationwide civil rights movement and highlighted the achievements of black Arkansans. When the desegregation of schools was stalled by bureaucratic racism, she led the fight against the system. And it took years. She planned it all, debating the school board, advising the students, and organizing the safest route to school and volunteers to accompany them. Ernest Green, Elizabeth Eckford, Jefferson Thomas, Terrence Roberts, Carlotta Walls LaNier, Minnijean Brown, Gloria Ray Karlmark, Thelma Mothershed, and Melba Pattillo Beals are all icons, and rightfully so, but please don’t let history forget about Daisy Bates. I know they didn’t mean to do her any injustice, but they missed an opportunity. We hear so few stories of black women fighting and changing the system that sometimes ignorant people get the impression that there are none, but in actuality, WOC leaders have existed, they do exist, and they will continue to even without getting the recognition they deserve. Please google her. PS I love Amber!
Charlie A yes!! I remember her!!!! I schooled in South Africa, and in our last high school years we did apartheid in South Africa and American segregation. So interesting.
Fun fact: there were originally 10 of them. There was a girl named Jane Hill, but after they got blocked from attending school that first day, she never came back.
After being screamed, cursed at, and threatened (just like the others), she quit. I don't blame her for it. I don't know she she moved out of the city but her parents decided not let her to follow through with the intervention effort with such a danger present.
This wasn’t that long ago. Remember that all of these people are someone’s grandparents and great grandparents. The students, the cops, the protestors, the politicians. So the next time someone says racism is over or that we all need to love on, point them to someone in your family or their family. They likely have someone who participated in this, and refused to face their crimes.
My mother just went to her 50th high school reunion from Central High and the white classmates still act like they didn't torture them. She said there was no truth and reconciliation. One white classmate did actually try to ask if it was bad for them. It's very interesting to look around and think that people who look normal behaved like this en masse.
Exactly. My grandmother was born in 1946. And she is still alive and well. She experienced this and the people that did it to her are still alive and well.
There are still people alive today walking free today that participated in lynchings. If my parents had been of African heritage in America they would have been subject to segregation laws while they were growing up. A lot of people seem to think that the Civil Rights movement happened 100 years ago, kind of like how people assume Vietnam veterans are 90+ years old ( they are not). The truth is, its so recent that in some families its not even separated by a full generation yet people are surprised when something like Charlottesville happens.
I got to meet one of the Little Rock 9, Minnijean Brown. She told me she was so scared, and the torture didn't end when she was finally allowed into Central. Ms. Brown was expelled due to yelling at the girls who hit her with combination locks.
A lot of people forget that just because they eventually were allowed in the school, the racism didn't stop. Look up the Memphis 13, they experienced this stuff too but were elementary kids at the time!
Thank you for leaving this comment--I learned something new today. Though we hear of all these "black history wins," we sometimes forget how pervasive racism is. Life is not a fairy tale where things are perfect after reaching a milestone. Sure, these kids went to school, but the racism did not end once they reached their classrooms. The fight against racism is lifelong (and will continue for generations).
People should play more short informative clips in school. Or have good story telling techniques ciz aint nobody remembering anything from just reading a text.
I’ve learnt heaps about them in school (we did Black Civil Rights), which is weird because I’m from New Zealand and we literally have nothing to do with this...
Dev Oh I almost reported you... then I realized you may have been responding to what you thought was my comment. I am giving you a chance, which is it?
@Dev Oh Awww...how cute. You presume to know what my political stances are. Anyone who disagrees with you must be liberal and far left. Pfft! 🙄😒 Here's your two seconds of attention, troll. You'll get no more from me.
Dev Oh No, because some of us, liberals and republicans alike, are not black and white thinkers. You like to feel better about your opinions in life by putting other ppl’s opinions down. Some of us like to learn from other of differing opinion. Just as some people from both sides can’t stand anyone from the other side, like yourself. What I never get about this vitriol is that it’s the exact same, rep telling ppl how stupid they are and liberals doing the same. Don’t they get they’re the same close minded ppl?
In the spirit of this do not forget Grace Lorch's contribution! She protected Elizabeth while going to the bus stop and was viciously ostracized and attacked by her community afterward. Her family had to flee the country because they got blacklisted! A true activist and hero as she kept battling for equal rights and desegregation
Her family had to leave the country for getting a taste of what black people were treated like? I do appreciate those who give up their privilege to stand for what's right, we should all be so brave.
@@MilaTejana they placed dynamite in her garage. Not just a taste. She tried to enroll her daughter into a black school but the district wasn't having it. I don't want history forgetting those who stood against what was wrong especially when they nothing to gain but everything to lose.
@@sebastianm.6875 Did you mean county instead of country? My mother actually went to Central high shortly after this and unfortunately that is still a taste of what it was like to be black in Little Rock in the 50s. Lots of respect to allies always.
As a native from Arkansas, this is the first time I've ever heard this full story. I don't understand why I didn't learn more about this in high school. Little Rock is literally the capitol of Arkansas. Come on, guys.
Ask your parents and grandparents about it. My mother graduated from Central high 51 years ago and the white students still didn't acknowledge torturing them at their 50th reunion last year. People have to be more honest and clean out the old wounds.
The bullying that they had to endure wasn’t just random teenage bullying. I saw a lecture where Elizabeth Eckford talks about how local parents would have neighborhood meetings and tell their kids what to do to harass the nine so that they would drop out.
God, that is absolutly vile! It's easy to chalk it up as just people being kinda mean, but no, this was a systemic, intentional effort to kick black people out of their communities and make sure they never come back.
My God, imagine being those kids( big emphasis on the word KIDS) or even their parents. Their bravery and character is infinite considering the circumstances.
When I saw the Little Rock Nine step on the school grounds, a chill went through me. I faced that same reception when I was bussed to an all white school in Louisville KY in the late 70's. On our first day of school, we were confronted by mob of white adults bearing signs that essentially said we don't want you here, go back to your neighborhood. I can still hear the sound of glass bottles shattering against the sides of the bus. Racial slurs. The other kids with me were crouched on their seats or on the floor of the bus, screaming. I only had two years to attend until I graduated, Thank God. I had some positive experiences over time. Life went on. I forgive those racist pigs but I will never forget. I don't know how old you are but you're lucky never to have experienced it. Google the period of time when we were court ordered to go to all white schools and whites were forced to do the same. Busing was done in Boston, Ma, and cities in Maryland just to name a few. I admire the strength and courage of the Little Rock Nine. And I'm glad that things have and are changing. I stand for non-hate, peaceful non-violent protest, inclusion, diversity and justice. Let's keep talking and understanding one other.
Yoooooo! Dude should be old enough to not confuse a rotary dial with a pushbutton telephone! While we're at it, try introducing a typewriter to the current generation of high schoolers. They'll probably tell their parents the school's trying to break their fingers!

She's supposed to be writing a sitcom about a married couple. I don't know if she's acting in it. It's supposed to be based on her real life marriage to a European man.
I think she's great where she is right now, that being on Seth Meyer's show. They already showcase her a lot, but maybe they can give her even more time and segments, that'd be cool :) the other people like the leave them alone guy or that other weird little writer whose name I forgot aren't nearly as funny as her.
@kagsgirl she is a writer on Seth Myers show, he clearly is really massive fans of the team and the writers. She does 2 segments "Amber says what" which is ok, but "Jokes Seth Cant tell" is better.
Christobanistan well the point still stands. Imagine despising someone just bc if their race that u become so extra and protest against them. It’s ridiculous. In fact it’s almost hilarious. But ur comment is kinda irrelevant since the person was referring to the video and what happened with Little Rock 9
She was being sarcastic. If you've watched Amber on Late Night with Seth Myers, you'd see enough of her skits to know she doesn't believe that for one second.
Being a freshman at central high school and seeing this video is pretty amazing. the history and sacrifices that were made to get to where we are today, aren’t payed tribute the way it should be. But seeing this, I can tell you this is the right way to do it, get someone drunk and have them inconsistently explain what happened. Love this
I am a Proud graduate of Little Rock Central and the legacy of the LR Nine is taught and instilled in all students to this day. They are role models for all of my classmates and me
I dk... blm isn't what you think it is. The way to take back what is ours, is not protesting. But turning back to God full of prayers and repenting of our sins. We must not forget what they have done nor forgive and make friends with the serpent seed (them). We absolutely must not mix with them and invite them in our homes. Read Deuteronomy 28 it explains why we're in this position and why we are hated, though we have done nothing. Stay away from blm the founders are witches they say themselves they practice it and talk to the dead. This movement is Deception leading away from The Most High.
Of course he did that on purpose, ya know for comedy. He is old enough to have used one in his younger years. I'm 33 and have used mg Grandparent's rotary phone when I was 7ish or younger. And yes I used it to call my Dad at work while I was on summer break. He had push button long ass cord phone from the 80's still. Basically my Dad an his parents took care of their phones so I got to use them 😂 But for sure if this guy is older than I am he got to use one for sure.
I remember reading a book about the Little Rock Nine by Melba (sorry I forgot her last name) on my school library. I forgot what it was titled but I'll try to find it when school does return! I remember seeing a picture of Elizabeth Eckerford walking through the angry white mob with her iconic stone-cold face and that gave me so much courage and it helped me learn that I should just walk through these people who discriminate me for being who I am and I respect her bravery so much.
I feel African American community should get some compulsory reservation in employment and education system.. they faced so much and yet the stood bravely and struggled.. and still continue to face closet racism.. RESPECT FOR AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY ✊
The Indian Princess I believe Affirmative Action was supposed to help. I know there are job postings specifying minorities and women encouraged to apply. I also think some colleges practice affirmative action in regards to SAT scores. But I’ve actually have heard black people complain desegregation and the great society, welfare, have hurt their communities more than helped. The rates of single motherhood has gone from 20% to 70% and AA communities pre civil rights were the fastest growing middle class communities. And John Oliver just had an interesting piece on how schools are still so segregated....surprisingly it wasn’t in the south, but New York.
@@anneb889 Affirmative Action was not created for black people or people of color . It was created and has mostly benefited White females way more black people. Majority of people do not realize this fact but there is a ton of evidence /research on the topic now. Generally when people refer to minorities we automatically assume people of color.
Angelic TroubleMaker Affirmative action was signed in 1961 by Kennedy.... before the women’s movement was really under way. The original primary purpose was for minorities....it included race, religion. The original order didn’t even included basis of sex....that wasn’t added til 1967 by Johnson. However, over the years yes, white women have been the primary beneficiaries.
Im not sure about the single mothers statistics among black women ,however, I do know many reports now confirm that black women are now the most educated group in the United States. Single mothers or not they are doing whatever to ensure their homes are taken care of. Let's not forget there are waaaay more white people on welfare than black people. As a college professor I love research, however, statistics can be very bias, manipulative,no one ever reads the fine print nor the entire study, only report the positive for certain groups of people, and use them as a tool of propaganda, etc. As a black woman there many things reported about black people, yet when I look at my own life, I do not know anyone personally who has lived on welfare, been to jail, murdered, have baby daddies and mommies, live in the "hood", we can all swim, we dont care if our hair gets wet, my nephew is a policemen, my parents, their siblings, and my grandparents were all college educated, etc. This is not my life but majority of black people I know lives reflect the same as mine. The media only focuses on the negative dont believe the hype.
"We don't know exactly why we hate you, we just know that it's something our parents have handed down to us, so we're just acting in what we think are their best interest." That's a really nuanced, pointed distillation on how racism in kids is learned.
Understanding that she is laughing to control her own feelings of fear and anger and despair but siding with the host cause you're white and know you will never really understand the persucution that comes with being black so it's not you're right to to criticize or judge her expression and there is no way for you to join in on this experience that is not yours so you just smile politely and allow her to do her thing
I was lucky enough to hear Carlotta Walls LaNier speak about her book when I was in high school. It was really amazing and you can still sense the amazing strength of her person. 😊
Really race gets confused with culture, and people love other cultures, they just don't love the people that created that culture and when you think about it that doesn't make sense at all.
@Dev Oh I understood what you said. I just have no idea why you think it pertains to my comment about bald caps. I mean, you seem incredibly intellectual. And your use of gay pejoratives is impressive. So I highly doubt you don't know how to use youTube comments properly. Therefore, I have to conclude that you had some sort of reason for this.
My mom went to Central High, she was born and raised in Arkansas and I lived there for only a few years but luckily we went back every year to see our family and I remember the day she took me to see where she went to High School and I saw how beautiful and giant it was but was more intrigued by the memorial benches, garden, and statues put up of the Little Rock Nine (something I knew nothing about because my school in Texas only taught Texas History) so we sat there and she told me all about it and I was blown away and I think if by any chance you end up in Little Rock/ Arkansas in general take a stop by Central High. It’s huge and has so much life. I haven’t seen it in about 5 years but I do cherish that moment I had with my mom and everything that I learned while sitting where it all happened. Their bravery will never go unnoticed. Crazy that in 2021 it still feels like nothings changed... Sad we have to even ask ourselves “when will the hate end..?” and by “ourselves” I mean us white people.
"We dont know exactly why we hate you. We just know its something our parents handed down to us to leave at their best interest" 😂

Think about it. This happened less than 100 years ago. These people have children and grandkids. 🤦🏽♀️
.... same story with nazis🤦♀️..
Doesn't mean for sure they kept up with that. Also doesn't mean the kids themselves decided on their own beliefs.
Right . Notice how people avoid talking about this era...
Christobanistan their kids were probably brought up with same beliefs that they're better & more deserving simply because they're white.
Christobanistan eh I'd rather not take any chances.

Lmao right so uncomfortable 😂
Little Rock 9 isn't laughing though
I love this but they left out Daisy Bates! If you see this comment, please google her. She WAS the reason those nine students ever got the chance to attend LR Central High. She was a civil rights activist in the 50s, the president of the Little Rock NAACP, and even ran a newspaper that exclusively covered the nationwide civil rights movement and highlighted the achievements of black Arkansans. When the desegregation of schools was stalled by bureaucratic racism, she led the fight against the system. And it took years. She planned it all, debating the school board, advising the students, and organizing the safest route to school and volunteers to accompany them. Ernest Green, Elizabeth Eckford, Jefferson Thomas, Terrence Roberts, Carlotta Walls LaNier, Minnijean Brown, Gloria Ray Karlmark, Thelma Mothershed, and Melba Pattillo Beals are all icons, and rightfully so, but please don’t let history forget about Daisy Bates. I know they didn’t mean to do her any injustice, but they missed an opportunity. We hear so few stories of black women fighting and changing the system that sometimes ignorant people get the impression that there are none, but in actuality, WOC leaders have existed, they do exist, and they will continue to even without getting the recognition they deserve.
Please google her.
PS I love Amber!
It was told by a very clearly intoxicated person. I don't think attention to detail is what they were going for.
Lucas Bell you missed my point. I’m not pissing on what they did do. I’m lamenting what they could have done.
Yes! She is such an important but overlooked person!
I was hoping they'd mention Daisy Bates too! I get making this video about the kids but she was instrumental.
Charlie A yes!! I remember her!!!! I schooled in South Africa, and in our last high school years we did apartheid in South Africa and American segregation. So interesting.
Those bullies got some nerve going on Oprah to get their 5 minutes of fame smh 🤦🏻♀️
Seriously 😑
And the fact that Oprah allowed that.
Not to mention one can imagine how awkward it was for the Little Rock Nine students as well.

@@annahmalima6320 Did you watch it? If not, then do so.
Fun fact: there were originally 10 of them. There was a girl named Jane Hill, but after they got blocked from attending school that first day, she never came back.
@Carlaeyyy, what happened to Jane?
What happened to her?
After being screamed, cursed at, and threatened (just like the others), she quit. I don't blame her for it. I don't know she she moved out of the city but her parents decided not let her to follow through with the intervention effort with such a danger present.
Nothing 'fun' about that, but admittedly interesting.
This wasn’t that long ago. Remember that all of these people are someone’s grandparents and great grandparents. The students, the cops, the protestors, the politicians. So the next time someone says racism is over or that we all need to love on, point them to someone in your family or their family. They likely have someone who participated in this, and refused to face their crimes.
My mother just went to her 50th high school reunion from Central High and the white classmates still act like they didn't torture them. She said there was no truth and reconciliation. One white classmate did actually try to ask if it was bad for them. It's very interesting to look around and think that people who look normal behaved like this en masse.
Exactly. My grandmother was born in 1946. And she is still alive and well. She experienced this and the people that did it to her are still alive and well.
There are still people alive today walking free today that participated in lynchings. If my parents had been of African heritage in America they would have been subject to segregation laws while they were growing up. A lot of people seem to think that the Civil Rights movement happened 100 years ago, kind of like how people assume Vietnam veterans are 90+ years old ( they are not). The truth is, its so recent that in some families its not even separated by a full generation yet people are surprised when something like Charlottesville happens.
I met one of the 9. He wasn't that old. It's crazy
Sela Lewis
💯
I got to meet one of the Little Rock 9, Minnijean Brown. She told me she was so scared, and the torture didn't end when she was finally allowed into Central. Ms. Brown was expelled due to yelling at the girls who hit her with combination locks.
The fuck?! That's some bullshit, and thanks for sharing.
A lot of people forget that just because they eventually were allowed in the school, the racism didn't stop. Look up the Memphis 13, they experienced this stuff too but were elementary kids at the time!
Thank you for leaving this comment--I learned something new today. Though we hear of all these "black history wins," we sometimes forget how pervasive racism is. Life is not a fairy tale where things are perfect after reaching a milestone. Sure, these kids went to school, but the racism did not end once they reached their classrooms. The fight against racism is lifelong (and will continue for generations).
Damn that is so terrible!!! She really is a hero for all she endured.
starzzzy Two of those Memphis 13 are twin sisters, they are my sister-in-laws and they endured much trauma.
A kind and lighthearted way to tell a heartbreaking story.

In the spirit of this do not forget Grace Lorch's contribution! She protected Elizabeth while going to the bus stop and was viciously ostracized and attacked by her community afterward. Her family had to flee the country because they got blacklisted! A true activist and hero as she kept battling for equal rights and desegregation

As a native from Arkansas, this is the first time I've ever heard this full story. I don't understand why I didn't learn more about this in high school. Little Rock is literally the capitol of Arkansas. Come on, guys.
Ask your parents and grandparents about it. My mother graduated from Central high 51 years ago and the white students still didn't acknowledge torturing them at their 50th reunion last year. People have to be more honest and clean out the old wounds.
As a native from Arkansas you may also want to learn a tad bit more of Arkansas history. Just look into 'Hoxie: The First Stand'.
Now you gotta tell everybody! It's your frigging duty!
White schools don’t really teach african American history that’s why
Katie Kat Wow that’s ridiculous. I thought every high school in America was taught this. I surely was.
One of the signs just says "I JUST LIKE YELLING" 😂😂
The bullying that they had to endure wasn’t just random teenage bullying. I saw a lecture where Elizabeth Eckford talks about how local parents would have neighborhood meetings and tell their kids what to do to harass the nine so that they would drop out.
God, that is absolutly vile! It's easy to chalk it up as just people being kinda mean, but no, this was a systemic, intentional effort to kick black people out of their communities and make sure they never come back.
My God, imagine being those kids( big emphasis on the word KIDS) or even their parents. Their bravery and character is infinite considering the circumstances.
When I saw the Little Rock Nine step on the school grounds, a chill went through me. I faced that same reception when I was bussed to an all white school in Louisville KY in the late 70's. On our first day of school, we were confronted by mob of white adults bearing signs that essentially said we don't want you here, go back to your neighborhood. I can still hear the sound of glass bottles shattering against the sides of the bus. Racial slurs. The other kids with me were crouched on their seats or on the floor of the bus, screaming. I only had two years to attend until I graduated, Thank God. I had some positive experiences over time. Life went on. I forgive those racist pigs but I will never forget. I don't know how old you are but you're lucky never to have experienced it. Google the period of time when we were court ordered to go to all white schools and whites were forced to do the same. Busing was done in Boston, Ma, and cities in Maryland just to name a few. I admire the strength and courage of the Little Rock Nine. And I'm glad that things have and are changing. I stand for non-hate, peaceful non-violent protest, inclusion, diversity and justice. Let's keep talking and understanding one other.
Yes it is - re the bravery and courage infinitely infinite.

The Indian Princess I believe Affirmative Action was supposed to help. I know there are job postings specifying minorities and women encouraged to apply. I also think some colleges practice affirmative action in regards to SAT scores.
But I’ve actually have heard black people complain desegregation and the great society, welfare, have hurt their communities more than helped. The rates of single motherhood has gone from 20% to 70% and AA communities pre civil rights were the fastest growing middle class communities.
And John Oliver just had an interesting piece on how schools are still so segregated....surprisingly it wasn’t in the south, but New York.
@@anneb889 Affirmative Action was not created for black people or people of color . It was created and has mostly benefited White females way more black people. Majority of people do not realize this fact but there is a ton of evidence /research on the topic now. Generally when people refer to minorities we automatically assume people of color.
Angelic TroubleMaker Affirmative action was signed in 1961 by Kennedy.... before the women’s movement was really under way. The original primary purpose was for minorities....it included race, religion.
The original order didn’t even included basis of sex....that wasn’t added til 1967 by Johnson. However, over the years yes, white women have been the primary beneficiaries.
Im not sure about the single mothers statistics among black women ,however, I do know many reports now confirm that black women are now the most educated group in the United States. Single mothers or not they are doing whatever to ensure their homes are taken care of. Let's not forget there are waaaay more white people on welfare than black people. As a college professor I love research, however, statistics can be very bias, manipulative,no one ever reads the fine print nor the entire study, only report the positive for certain groups of people, and use them as a tool of propaganda, etc. As a black woman there many things reported about black people, yet when I look at my own life, I do not know anyone personally who has lived on welfare, been to jail, murdered, have baby daddies and mommies, live in the "hood", we can all swim, we dont care if our hair gets wet, my nephew is a policemen, my parents, their siblings, and my grandparents were all college educated, etc. This is not my life but majority of black people I know lives reflect the same as mine. The media only focuses on the negative dont believe the hype.

My mom went to Central High, she was born and raised in Arkansas and I lived there for only a few years but luckily we went back every year to see our family and I remember the day she took me to see where she went to High School and I saw how beautiful and giant it was but was more intrigued by the memorial benches, garden, and statues put up of the Little Rock Nine (something I knew nothing about because my school in Texas only taught Texas History) so we sat there and she told me all about it and I was blown away and I think if by any chance you end up in Little Rock/ Arkansas in general take a stop by Central High. It’s huge and has so much life. I haven’t seen it in about 5 years but I do cherish that moment I had with my mom and everything that I learned while sitting where it all happened. Their bravery will never go unnoticed. Crazy that in 2021 it still feels like nothings changed... Sad we have to even ask ourselves “when will the hate end..?” and by “ourselves” I mean us white people.
