I remember heated, concerned discussion about that crisis when Arkansas governor Faubus defied federal imperatives to integration Little Rock's Central High and the National Guard was called in. I remember how this was discussed around my extended family's table at Christmas.
I remember the anxiety and anger, the determination of white people to resist according rights to people of color. I remember also the recognition that this was flatly wrong.
