African American Children Marching with Signs Near Segregated School

Following the US Supreme Court's order for immediate integration (as of the previous day), sixteen Black children, carrying signs and accompanied by four mothers, walk to Webster School, Hillsboro, Ohio, April 3, 1956. The signs read 'I can't go to school because of segregation' and 'Our Children play together; why can’t they learn together.' The school board turned the children away, saying that is was awaiting official notification of the Supreme Court's decision before taking any action. (Photo by Bettmann/Getty Images)
