A new program has been added to the February speaker schedule at the Clinton School. Next Monday, Feb. 8, at noon, author David Margolick will give a Clinton School lecture about, “Elizabeth and Hazel,” a book he currently writing about a now-infamous photo (right) from the 1957 Little Rock Central High School desegregation crisis that portrays Eckford, a member of the Little Rock Nine, being pursued by a hostile crowd, including a screaming Massery.
The picture became a symbol of the Civil Rights Movement and Eckford and Massery would forever be etched in history for their roles in the crisis.
Currently a Newsweek contributor, Margolick previously wrote for Portfolio, Vanity Fair and The New York Times. He is the author of four books, including most recently, “Beyond Glory: Joe Louis vs. Max Schmeling, and a World on the Brink.” To RSVP for the lecture, email publicprograms@clintonschool.uasys.edu.
