Courage: Elizabeth Eckford

The video discusses the concept of courage, illustrated by Elizabeth Eckford's story. In 1957, Elizabeth, a black student, faced hostility when attending Little Rock High School, previously all-white. Despite protests and the National Guard blocking her, she persisted. The Supreme Court's ruling against segregation faced opposition, but the Little Rock 9, including Elizabeth, were enrolled to integrate the school. Federal troops were eventually sent to protect them, leading to successful integration. The video emphasizes courage's importance in pursuing justice and equality.
