President Obama

[Jefferson Thomas]

I am really proud of myself and the other Little Rock Nine members because our actions eventually led to the nation's first black President. President Obama invited me and the rest of Little Rock Nine to his inauguration in 2008. President Obama stated that his success was possible because of the desegregation of schools that started with Little Rock Central High School. Obama was able to go to a good school where he was given equal educational opportunities that led to his success.
