The landmark 1954 Supreme Court ruling, Brown v. Board of Education, brought the promise of integration to Little Rock, Arkansas, but it was hard-won for the nine black teenagers chosen to integrate Central High School in 1957. They ran the gauntlet between a rampaging mob and the heavily armed Arkansas National Guard, dispatched by Governor Orval Faubus to subvert federal law and bar them from entering the school. President Dwight D. Eisenhower responded by sending in soldiers of the 101st Airborne Division, the elite Screaming Eagles - and transformed Melba Pattillo and her eight friends into reluctant warriors on the battlefield of civil rights. May 17, 1994, marks the fortieth anniversary of the Brown v. Board of Education ruling, which was argued and won by Thurgood Marshall, whose passion and presence emboldened the Little Rock struggle. Melba Pattillo Beals commemorates the milestone decision in this first-person account of her ordeal at the center of the violent confrontation that helped shape the civil rights movement. Beals takes us from the lynch mob that greeted the terrified fifteen-year-old to a celebrity homecoming with her eight compatriots thirty years later, on October 23, 1987, hosted by Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton in the mansion that Faubus built. As they returned to tour the halls of the school, gathering from myriad professions and all corners of the country, they were greeted by the legacy of their courage - a bespectacled black teenager, the president of the student body at Central High. Beals chronicles her harrowing junior year at Central High, when she began each school day by polishing her saddle shoes and bracing herself for battle. Nothing, not eventhe 101st Airborne Division, could blunt the segregationists' brutal organized campaign of terrorism that included telephone threats, insults and assaults at school, brigades of attacking mothers, rogue police, restroom fireball attacks, acid-throwers, vigilante stalkers, economic

Must purchase
Size: Queen, Color: 01 - White
My favorite sheets. Super soft and also thick. I have had them throughout my time in college and each time I have purchased a new size mattress I have bought these sheets. Super easy to wash and get stains out of. I have white and they are still white after a year and a half.

Very comfy
Sheet feels super soft, but tough. Hopefully they're sturdy/thick enough to handle my husband's sandpaper feet and last longer than those cheap thin jersey sheets from Walmart. So far, though, totally impressed.

Sheets are not sized to fit.
Size: Twin XL, Color: 07 - Taupe
These XL twin sheets do NOT fit my xl twin mattresses. They are too long length wise and too short width wise. I have tried to use them several times and each time they do NOT stay on the mattress for even one day. I am very unhappy with the sizing and if I could return them I would. Was just a waste of good money in my opinion

Not Happy - Faded
Size: Twin XL, Color: 08 - Dark Blue, Size: Twin XL, Color: 08 - Dark Blue
I really wanted to love this but ended up super disappointed in this cover sheet. It was a generous size & nice fabric BUT it faded in the center of the sheet where my child slept on it. Here are pictures to show the side of the sheet against the faded area. I would not recommend it although I like that it's organic.
