Research on Warriors Don't Cry
Warrior’s Don’t Cry is a play adapted from the memoir by Dr. Melba Pattillo Beals. It describes a story of Melba Pattillo, a young girl who was one of the students chosen to integrate Little Rock’s Central High School after the actions of Arkansas’ Governor Faubus in 1957. The Little Rock Nine were those students who attempted to the Arkansas’ first attempt at integration in public schools. Melba was scared at first, but being greatly influenced by her strong and loving family, she was acted as a warrior, fighting for a civil rights battle with her incredible courage and strength throughout being taunted, threatened, attacked and even injured by the opposition. The Little Rock Nine eventually won after experiencing the hardship.
