The world will never forget the iconic photos of the Little Rock Nine.

In 1957, nine black students entered Little Rock Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, serving a pioneers for the nation’s first wave of school integration following the U.S. Supreme Court’s Brown v. Board of Education school segregation banning decision.

The Little Rock Nine consisted of Ernest Green, Elizabeth Eckford, Jefferson Thomas, Terrence Roberts, Carlotta Walls LaNier, Minnijean Brown, Gloria Ray Karlmark, Thelma Mothershed and Melba Pattillo Beals.

The National Museum of African American History & Culture (NMAAHC) has announced that it will be honoring the 60th anniversary of the historic event by hosting a panel entitled, “Reflections of the Little Rock Nine 1957-2017,”  featuring some of the Little Rock Nine students.

The Little Rock Nine panel will be part of a multi-day celebration of the museum’s first anniversary.

Taking place on September 23-24 and 26th, the festivities will include performances from Ballou High School’s Majestic Knights Marching Band, KanKouran West African Dance Company, Experience Unlimited, and GR!DC (Girls Rock DC), Afro-Brazilian band Batala Washington, jazz performer Rochelle Rice and hip-hop artist Christylez Bacon.

“We are so grateful to America for making this first year unprecedentedly successful,” Lonnie G. Bunch III, founding director of the museum, said in a press release. “This first anniversary gives us at the Smithsonian the opportunity to thank everyone for this incredible gift and for making it possible to continue our mission to help America grapple with history by seeing their past through an African American lens – and ultimately help Americans find healing and reconciliation.”

Not unlike its debut opening, registration for the Little Rock Nine event has already filled up to capacity, but you can sign up here to get onto the waiting list.
