In the next few days, students will be participating in a Socratic Seminar about the hatred faced by the pioneers of the Civil Rights movement.  Specifically, they'll be reading a bit about Elizabeth Eckford -- one of the first African American students to integrate a white high school in the south. 

Embedded above is an audio recording of this reading.  It is designed for students who want to listen to the recording while reading. 

Hope this helps,
Bill Ferriter and Chambliss Barrow.
