Civil Rights Saturday 7 December 2002
When Minnijean Brown Trickey was sixteen she found herself in the centre of one of the most significant acts of the American civil rights movement.

In 1957 the governor of Arkansas ordered the National Guard to stop nine black teenagers from attending the all white Little Rock High school.
The President had to send in the army to enable the so called Little Rock Nine to enter the school. Minnijean faced insults, violent demonstrations and death threats in her battle for an education.
A film about her life, Journey To Little Rock, is being shown at the Notting Hill Gate cinema tomorrow in London and is on the long-list for an Academy Award for best documentary.
Minnijean Brown Trickey joins Martha to talk about her life and work as a social activist.
