A great historical flick
This is an awesome movie that accurately describes the struggles of the black students that integrated the all white Central High School in Arkansas. It details what they went through every day, not only in school but out of school. this is a movie about courageous kids that fought for an equal education. This is a film for the whole family, for the history lover, or for anyone that wants to see a good movie. I highly recommend this movie.

An excellent film!
This is a wonderful film that was based on the real life journal teacher Elizabeth Huckaby kept during the 1957 integration that took place at a Little Rock high school. This is an intense and gripping drama that stars the talented Joanne Woodward along with Charles Durning, Henderson Forsythe and William Russ. Be sure to see this film!

Memorable and moving
I saw this movie some years ago and found it so gripping that I wanted to own a copy. At last I found it here (after 7 years of looking) and am elated. It is a well done and very personal movie done from the point of view of "Mrs Huckaby" the lead character. Watch it, buy it, it's worth it!
