Speaking for Myself, by Sarah Huckabee Sanders: on Education


Sarah Huckabee Sanders: Graduated proudly from integrated Little Rock High School

Forty years after the Supreme Court's landmark "Brown vs. Board of Education" decision of 1954, as a student at Central High, I cheered alongside thousands of students, parents, and dignitaries from around the world as President Bill Clinton and my dad, Governor Mike Huckabee, helped open up the door of Central High for the Little Rock Nine--the same doors that were previously closed to them because they were black.

Our student body president, an African American girl, also spoke in front of the world and speak out for civil rights. It was a reminder to all of us that day and around the world how far America and Arkansas had come.

The Little Rock Nine bravely advanced equality in America, and today Central High is one of the most racially diverse and high-achieving schools in the state. I loved my experience there. My time at Central exposed me to all different backgrounds, lifestyles, and viewpoints. I am very proud to have graduated from Little Rock Central High.
