Book : Bitters in the Honey

Drawing on oral histories, here is the story of Little Rock Central High School's famous desegregation events told from a fresh angle. Interviews with the school's white alumni, many now near retirement age, reveal the reasons behind their resistance to desegregation, stories shaping their white identities in the latter half of the twentieth century and even anger lingering after so many years. A new perspective, rarely told. Beth Roy. The University of Arkansas Press. Paperback. 400 pages.
