My second Annotation

CNN, "Eckford: Central High in 1957 'was not ...a normal environment;May 17, 2004; 21 Oct 2008www.cnn.com/2004/Law/05/17/eckford.transcript/index.html

This website is a interview about what it was like going to an all white school as a black girl during segregation.

Thesis Statement

Despite the obstacles she faced as an African American woman in the segregated world of the 1950's, Elizabeth Ann Eckford had enough courage to attend Little Rock Central High, an all white school. 

NHD Topic Selection

My partner (Shaquille) and I choose to do our NHD project on Elizebeth Ann Eckford because we were interested in the Civil Rights movement. Elizebeth made history as a member of the little rock nine, the nine African American students who desegregated Little Rock Central High School. She is important to history because without her efforts, school would have not been desegregated.
