Melba Pattillo Beals was born on December 7th 1941. From an early age she knew that to have a good education was very important. She was accepted to be one of the first black students, in 1955 to an all-white school at Central High in Little Rock, Arkansas. Two years later on September 23, 1957 at the age of 15, was the first day that she (one of The Little Rock Nine) took that final step in the school.
