BREAKING BARRIERS: LITTLE ROCK NINE (World Premier) is told from the
perspective of the nine students who integrated Central High School, in
Little Rock, Arkansas, in September, 1957, amid much violence, hatred and
protest. Join these famous "nine" students, their parents, and their
protector Ms. Daisy Bates as they meet for the first time after they are
chosen. As these nine students bond over the common desire for a better
education, they begin to realize the impact it has on American society.
Hear personal perspectives from Little Rock and the nation as the drama
unfolds for those nine young Black students.
