Lessons From Little Rock In his compelling memoir detailing the Little Rock Desegregation Crisis of 1957, "Little Rock Nine" member Terrence Roberts opens the door to the life he and his family lived in the segregated South in the 1950s. Roberts gives an eyewitness account of what readers will recognize as history, yet to the young man living through those tumultuous events was just life in a country on the cusp of momentous change.
Simple, Not Easy: Reflections on community, social responsibility and tolerance "Terrence Roberts is in the truest sense an upstander–an individual whose voice and actions compel us to explore difficult topics of race and racism and challenge us to face our shared history, honestly. The speeches, articles and reflections in these pages celebrate the notion of difference, model social responsible behavior and promote tolerance in our daily lives. All who read this book should be inspired, in Dr. Roberts' words, 'to think beyond the ordinary.'"
