Best Answer

They were called the Little Rock Nine because there were nine young black students, led by Elizabeth Eckford and Ernest Green, who were the first to integrate Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. They endured racist taunts, death threats, insults, and anger just for the right to attend their local high school.
