Little Rock 9 to receive Père Marquette Discovery Award; watch online
Marquette University will confer the Père Marquette Discovery Award, the university’s highest honor, on the Little Rock Nine in a special ceremony Tuesday, Feb. 9, at 4 p.m.
Tickets for the event are sold out, but a live webcast will be available.
As courageous teenagers, the Little Rock Nine dared to challenge racial segregation in public schools by enrolling at the all-white Central High School in 1957. They became an integral part of the fight for equal opportunity in American education.
