Introduction George Silk photo of Little Rock Integration was taken on September 25th 1957. This piece is a part of Life Photo Collection located in New York, New York.

This photo implies struggle and oppression of African Americans for years telling them that they were not as equal as white people. That the high school “central” was something that the African American’s thought about as being something forbid, but now
