Elizabeth Eckford is someone who has a significant influence on me because she and eight others were going to enter a school that was segregated. This is very brave to do, especially during that time because people were racist. Also, their is a historical photo of her walking to school with an angry mob of people behind her, who didn't want her to go to the same school as their children were. This all occurred on the first day of school which is really upsetting to me. While we freak out on the first day because of how we should dress, how our hair should or who would be in our class
