(HR) ABOVE: From her wheelchair Thelma Mothershed meets with enthusiastic fans after the interfaith service. The nine members of what is now called the Little Rock Nine came together for only the 5th time in 50 years at Congregation Emanuel for an interfaith gathering. In 1957, nine ordinary teenagers walked out of their homes and stepped up to the front lines in the battle for civil rights for all Americans. The media coined them the Little Rock Nine to identify the first African-American students to desegregate Little Rock Central High School. On September 3, 1957 the LIttle Rock Nine arrived to enter Central High school but were turned away by the Arkansas National Guard. The Little Rock Nine are Terrence Roberts <cq>, Minnijean Brown Trickey <cq> Elizabeth Eckford <cq> Ernest Green <cq> Thelma Mothershed Wair <cq>, Melba Pattillo Beals <cq>, Carlotta Wall LaNier <cq>, Jefferson Thomas <cq>, and Gloria Ray Karlmark <cq>.
