In Episode Ten, Justin interviews Dr. Terrence Roberts, a member of the Little Rock Nine. In 1957, three years after the Supreme Court declared segregated schools unconstitutional in Brown vs. Board of Education, nine African American students were enrolled in the previously whites-only Little Rock Central High School in Arkansas. The students were initially prevented from entering the school by hordes of angry, racist protestors and the Arkansas National Guard, which was deployed by Governor Orval Faubus. President Dwight Eisenhower had to call in federal troops to escort the Little Rock Nine into the school. One of those nine students was Terrence Roberts, now a management consultant and author who has lived in Pasadena for more than 30 years.
