@kelvinwashington36: Young woman taking classes by television during the 1958-1959 school year in Little Rock, Arkansas, a period known as "the Lost Year". Following the 1957 integration of Central High School by the Little Rock Nine, which gained national attention and required federal intervention, resistance to desegregation continued. To avoid further integration, Governor Orval Faubus ordered the city's four public high schools closed for the entire 1958-1959 academic term. Little Rock residents voted overwhelmingly (19,470 to 7,561) in favor of the school closure rather than integration. During this time, some students sought alternative educational options, including enrolling in private schools, other districts, or continuing their studies through correspondence courses. The photograph of a young woman studying by TV likely represents one such effort to continue education during the period of school closures and the ongoing struggle for integration in Little Rock. #fypシ゚ #fypシ゚viral #blackhistorytiktok #blackhistory
