Little Rock, Arkansas - Fifty-one years ago this month, Little Rock and much of America was at a legal, philosophical, social, and emotional crossroads.  Would nine African American teenagers, armed with the U.S. Constitution, be admitted to this city’s Central High School?  This important story has been powerfully documented, especially at the Little Rock Nine National Historic Site across the street from the world famous high school.  It is painful and ugly history we should never forget but an inspirational reminder of how much progress our nation has made on race relations in a little more than half-a-century.  If you have any doubts, just imagine the reaction of former Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus if he were alive today to witness the 2008 Democratic presidential nominee of his political party, Senator Barack Obama, or Republican Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
