{"value"=>"<p>These scrapbooks (1955-1961) are about Little Rock, Arkansas public schools and include clippings from a variety of both African American and mainstream newspapers. The primary topic included is the process of desegregating Little Rock public schools, including the attempts of the Little Rock Nine to integrate Central High School, the deployment of Arkansas National Guard, the closing of Little Rock high schools for the 1958 school year, the reopening of those high schools, the actions of Governor Orval Faubus, and the eventual desegregation of schools across Little Rock. There are several articles pointing out the fact that the white students attending these schools are not concerned with integration, but rather the parents and other adults in the community are causing the problem. The scrapbook with the spine label \"Little Rock, Arkansas Public Schools vol 5\" is actually \"Education - NYC\".</p>"}
