Daisy Bates
Two of the nine negro students barred from the Little Rock Central High School are shown in a court corridor as federal Judge Ronald Davies denied the petition of the Little Rock School Board to delay his integration order. From left are Minnie Brown, 15; Thelma Mothershed, 16 (the students), and Mrs. L.C. Bates, president of the Arkansas chapter of the NAACP. In denying the petition, Judge Davies said that, "ultimate chaos will prevail of court decrees are flouted."
