This candid look at the lives of contemporary Little Rock Central students examines the legacy of the civil rights struggle for equal education.

1. What is the difference between integration and segregation?
2. Why do you think the class Minniejean Brown visited had “self-segregated”?
3. Do you agree with the student who said, “That’s just the way it is”? Why?
4. Did you go to a school where friendship circles were mostly segregated by race? If so, why do you think that happens?
5. What do you suggest be done to change the often informal segregation that persists in the United States today?
6. What is institutional racism? How might Little Rock Central High reflect this concept?
