Légende
Small mimeographed flyer owned by African-American civil rights activist Daisy Bates who led the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) branch in Arkansas and was in charge of the Little Rock school integration. Bates worked to organize a safe integration process and mentored the first students, known as the Little Rock Nine. Due to intense protests, President Dwight D. Eisenhower sent the Arkansas National Guard to ensure that the school integration could proceed. Protestors and advertisers boycotted the Arkansas State Press, an activist newspaper owned by Daisy and her husband Lucius Christopher Bates. The Bates suffered financial difficulties due to their outspoken integration efforts. Black ink on soiled white paper. It features a drawing of Little Rock Central High School and the text [CENTRAL HIGH REFORMATORY / BROTHERHOOD BY SUSPENSION! / SCHOOL OF ONE BLOSSOM, AND IT’S A / DAISY] Discolored throughout. Edge wear throughout, with tears and loss. Two small holes at bottom right.
