Melba Beals Speaks to STMS Students
Melba Beals, one of the Little Rock Nine, visited our school and spoke to us about her life. After her visit, students in Room 58 created storyboards to show how the courage of those nine teenagers made our lives better and changed the world. They also wrote poems expressing what they learned about ignorance, racism, hatred, courage, education, and doing the right thing.
Ignorance
Dumb, illogical
Hurting, harming, hitting
Evil, hatred, kindness, enlightenment
Hoping, caring, loving
Peaceful, good-hearted
Educated
