!.We Go CRAZY For DAISY.!

Daisy Bates is who our class is named after. She was a very important woman in U.S History in fact she is known as a civil rights activist. Ms.Bates was raised in Huttig,Arkansas by her adoptive parents. In 1941, she married L.C. Bates; a friend of her fathers. Interesting huh? Guess what else... in 1952, Daisy Bates became the Arkansas branch president of the NAACP. Daisy Bates had a huge impact on Little Rock schools. They wanted to start integrating the schools that they found and so the NAACP and Ms.Bates began to work on various plans. And finally in 1957 they settled on a basic tactic. 75 African American students registered at Little Rock Central High School of these, 9 were chosen to actually be the first to integrate the school. Later they became Little Rock 9. To make it a long story short that year Daisy Bates and others were arrested for not over the NAACP records. Even though Ms.Bates was no longer a officer of NAACP. She was fined; her conviction was eventually over turned by the U.S. Supreme Court. So just know this during the fight of little rock 9 she wrote articles about little rock 9 in black neighborhoods so vices would be heard to. We think our class name fits this person because she was a strong leader and we think that every person in this class is strong and smart. Before this ends we have one more thing to say WE GO CRAZY FOR DAISY!
