She believed that the president was doing a great job with slowly integrating the school. She was pro-integration and was ridiculed and harassed daily for her daughter being friends with a colored girl. She believes that all federal aid should be stopped in the creation of schools until they are all equal together. She was against segregation but her town had no intent on integrating while people would call her home after midnight on multiple occasions harassing her for letting her child become friends with a "negro" being asked "Would you like to marry a negro". She has no problem with integration but does not want to be harassed for this.

Austin was a white man who begged the president to keep the schools segregated. He said "I BEG of you for the sake of the white children remove the colored students and the troops from Little Rock at once." I think that he was worried that the children would get caught in the crossfire of all this that was happening. He also says "It is bad enough to have integration by mutual consent but when the Supreme Court and the Government of the United States use force against the will of the white children of the U.S. it is tearing down all the good prestige you have created all over the world and the United States." I don't think he is hateful I just think he just doesn't want all this turmoil around.]]> 2017-11-16 16:43:00 UTC https://padlet.com/vdruss/gbgbcj604c7j/wish/207766486 migagu5029 https://padlet.com/vdruss/gbgbcj604c7j/wish/207766829 Date: October 10, 1957

Ava is a daughter of the American Revolution and a daughter of the Confederacy. She is against integration. She is a white supremacist. She is for segregation.

She thinks that President Eisenhower shouldn't support integration. She says that integration is against justice and freedom, she thinks that military use is uncalled for, she also think that all integration and cases about it are making the U.S suffer. 

I disagree with Ava. Segregation is against justice and freedom, not integration. Military use was called for because its the presidents job to enforce the laws. ]]> 2017-11-16 16:43:34 UTC https://padlet.com/vdruss/gbgbcj604c7j/wish/207766829 jusbel1995 https://padlet.com/vdruss/gbgbcj604c7j/wish/207766931 2017-11-16 16:43:44 UTC https://padlet.com/vdruss/gbgbcj604c7j/wish/207766931 kylree9066 https://padlet.com/vdruss/gbgbcj604c7j/wish/207767023 A lady by the name of Mrs. Floy J.

Mrs. Anderson states the Governor should be ore willing to accompany with the rules and regulations of the Constitution. I believe totally with Mrs. Anderson.

She has two daughters and is very against integration. Maxine claims that her integrated schools would influence interracial relationships. She says Americans should be able to vote for or against desegregation. In her eyes, the Little Rock situation imposes a threat to the safety of the nation. I believe this woman is a very proud southerner who is stuck in her ways; she has very racially discriminative viewpoints. ]]> 2017-11-16 16:43:54 UTC https://padlet.com/vdruss/gbgbcj604c7j/wish/207767024 aleray1240 https://padlet.com/vdruss/gbgbcj604c7j/wish/207767169 My letter was written by a woman named Mrs. W. D. Alexander in 1957. She was a white mother that disagreed with the schools combining. She wanted her children to be safe while receiving their education and with everything going on there was no way they could be safe until President Eisenhower made that decision.

He said things like "Why are African Americans supposed to be allowed in white schools when they have their own" and "Would you sit idle and let an intruder enter your home?". ]]> 2017-11-16 16:44:28 UTC https://padlet.com/vdruss/gbgbcj604c7j/wish/207767343 kaigau7649 https://padlet.com/vdruss/gbgbcj604c7j/wish/207767436 My letter was written by a young white woman named Mrs. Ava Johnson Aycock. Mrs. Aycock was from Jacksonville, Florida, and a strong supporter of the southern views. She believed that the government should not make the schools integrate because they should not do things to please government officials. She stated that doing this would intrude on American's private life. In my opinion they should integrate schools because no race is superior to the other. We are all equal, and should be given the same opportunities and freedoms.

Fr. Richard P. Adair. He was a white man who was a clergy man at a church alonside a black clergy man. He believes in intergration but he doesn't think that the president has taken the right steps in the intergration of the Central High School in Little Rock.

She was a women from Hawaii and supports the president decision and she also doesn't like racial hatred. She talks about how she can't understand why people in Arkansas are so mean to people of color. They are so much different from the people of Hawaii. She feels that the president is doing the right thing to his country. She calls the president one of the greatest president in history.

Military and he is African American
Charles is implying that more needs to be done, that people being abused because of the color of their skin is not only unconstitutional, and indecent, but is a threat to all humanity. In the Navy people were making racial comments to him also, Charles thinks that the President should have done something faster.  
I agree with him and the President could have done something faster but I also believe the President was right for sending in troops to help Little Rock]]> 2017-11-16 16:48:39 UTC https://padlet.com/vdruss/gbgbcj604c7j/wish/207769929 gabcru2204 https://padlet.com/vdruss/gbgbcj604c7j/wish/207770437 He was a teenage boy that believed the president was doing the right thing by integrating schools.

Allison was a white female who was against integration. She is very frustrated at President Eisenhower's decision to allow integration in the Southern states. He did this buy sending troops in to help with the arguments and riots going on about the 9 students going into the school. She said "...you have succeeded in pouring salt into an already gaping wound." By her tone and words you can infer that she is not at all happy and wants integration to stop. Allison was worried that since school integration was occurring interracial marriages should have to become legal and she doesn't want that to affect her 2 young daughters. 

I believe that she is being inconsiderate and only thinking about herself and what she wants. Most teens and young children were willing to integrate but it was the parents who weren't willing to adapt to a new time.]]> 2017-11-16 16:50:23 UTC https://padlet.com/vdruss/gbgbcj604c7j/wish/207771072 jayhow8764 https://padlet.com/vdruss/gbgbcj604c7j/wish/207771530 He was lawyer from Indianola, Mississippi. He is for segregation because he believes that integration will affect the government and send it in a downward spiral. Plus he also sees this issue dominating over both of the political parties. I can see the view point that this man is coming from. He is worried about the country and how the issues that are taking place will affect it. ]]> 2017-11-16 16:51:07 UTC https://padlet.com/vdruss/gbgbcj604c7j/wish/207771530 janriv8695 https://padlet.com/vdruss/gbgbcj604c7j/wish/207773841 My letter about this woman who was a moderate and supported the President throughout his candidacy. She disagreed with the integregation situation and did not like it.

He was a male american patriot who was unhappy with the president's decision of re-segregation. It was written October 10th, 1957. I believe that Anderson stated his opinion without being too harsh. Even though he was unhappy with the president's decision he still supported him for some of his other decisions. He believes that any person  who is native to the country is also entitled to receive a good education. Anderson even clarifies that he is willing to accept colored children into his home and give them a good education to the best of his ability or to even enlist to go to the South again and convince them that his opinion is right. At the end of the letter he wished the president a long and happy life and makes a sarcastic statement about how he has done his share as a "patriot". ]]> 2017-11-16 17:01:25 UTC https://padlet.com/vdruss/gbgbcj604c7j/wish/207777460 vdruss https://padlet.com/vdruss/gbgbcj604c7j/wish/207784370 2017-11-16 17:12:41 UTC https://padlet.com/vdruss/gbgbcj604c7j/wish/207784370
