It makes you think those first 9 african americans students had the courage to attend the all white school at a time when they weren't even wanted, and now more than 50 years later its like the african american students who now attend the school have forgotten there history and don't understand how truely lucky they are to be able to go to school. It was such ashame to see the students still divided in each classroom, black on one side the whites on the other. I wasn't able to catch the documentary from the beginning but i'm going to check to see when it comes on again.
