"A Mighty Long Way" is a compelling memoir that chronicles the author's experience as one of the "Little Rock Nine", the group of African-American students who integrated Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1957.
It is both a personal story of resilience and a broader commentary on the struggles and triumphs of the Civil Rights Movement.
