Mixed memories

In this Sept. 9, 1957, file photo, a crowd of students, reporters and curious onlookers watch the scene as Arkansas National Guard troops, following the orders of Gov. Orval Faubus, are dispatched to prevent nine black students from entering Little Rock’s all-white Central High School. The city is marking the 50th anniversary of Central High School’s integration in September 2007 with a series of events culminating in a ceremony featuring former president Clinton and the Little Rock Nine.
