Evidence

Even at Central High School, the hostility and institutional failures remained ongoing. After troops left the city, the nine students who integrated Central High - Melba Pattillo Beals, Minnijean Brown-Trickey, Ernest Green, Elizabeth Eckford, Gloria Ray Karlmark, Carlotta Walls LaNier, Terrence Roberts, Thelma Mothershed, and Jefferson Thomas - endured daily verbal and physical abuse. — Heather McNamee, The History of School Desegregation…, 39

• ADDENDUM: Would extend the published article’s treatment of moral panics over bodies in public space into the classroom: who is permitted to stand up, and at what cost.
