My students found some good information on the site. The short interview with one of the students Ernest Brown was good in that he talked about how welcoming the students were while riots were going on outside of the school, however it was very small on the screen so I couldn't use it with the projector in my classroom, the students had to view individually. As well, the student newspaper from 1957 was interesting, my students got a feeling for what the Central HS students were feeling at that time.
