For 10 days in May, historian Richard Norton Smith led a bus tour from Asheville, North Carolina to Austin, Texas.  The group stopped at several presidential and historic sites along the route. One of the stops was Little Rock Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, the site of forced desegregation in 1957, in the wake of the 1954 Brown v . Board of Education Supreme Court decision.The Little Rock Nine were the first nine African American students to attend Central High School in 1957. Minnijean Brown Trickey was one of the nine, and her daughter, Spirit Trickey, a National Park Service ranger, led this tour at Central High.
