My Dad, Arthur D Morse was the CBS interviewer near the end of the program.

This is exactly why honest history must be taught in every school in the nation. We are right back where we were - we never left it. Racism is systemic, in part, because racism is the breath we breathe.

I am so ignorant to think/beleive that Little Rock was the first to Desegrgate. I learned about the Clinton 12 in 2021 from an ole' head in Knoxville. Totally blew my mind!

I went to this school. I knew it was blown up, i knew the black kids came down the hill, and that was it. I never heard the whole history until years later.

43:36 He is very misinformed. He has not deep understanding of what he is talking about. He is just repeating what he heard,read, or taught by the very people who dont want to see intergration.

my step dad told me he blew the school up.. he's dead now but he told me exactly how he did it and who was involved..his name was Edward Kline aka (slim) I called him a liar for many years but later found public records that suggest he was telling me the truth.. he always told me that the reason officials insist that nobody was ever caught for this crime was to keep him from writing a book when he got out of prison and getting rich.. my step dad claimed he served 10 years in Brushy mountain state penatentury for his part in blowing up the school... his story lines up pretty good with the events that took place..
