This memoir, based heavily on Beals's schoolgirl diary and her English-teacher mother's notes, explains how the 15-year-old decided to integrate Central High with eight classmates and what happened as a result of that.

This memoir, based heavily on Beals's schoolgirl diary and her English-teacher mother's notes, explains how the 15-year-old decided to integrate Central High with eight classmates and what happened as a result of that decision. Beals's narrative is uplifting because she survived the ordeal, went on to college at San Francisco State University and Columbia University, worked as a reporter for NBC, and returned to Little Rock in 1987 to be greeted by then-governor Bill Clinton and a black Central High student-body president.

Drawn from personal diaries, Warriors Don't Cry is the riveting true story of Melba Beals's experience as one of the first nine black teenagers chosen to integrate the Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, 1957.

In this compelling autobiographical account by one of the Civil Rights Movement’s most powerful figures, Beals explores not only the power of racism, but also the ideas of justice and identity.In 1957, well before Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech, Melba Pattillo Beals and eight other teenagers became iconic symbols for the Civil Rights Movement and the dismantling of Jim Crow in the American South as they integrated Little Rock’s Central High School in the wake of the landmark 1954 Supreme Court ruling, Brown v. Board of Education. Throughout her harrowing ordeal, Melba was taunted by her schoolmates and their parents, threatened by a lynch mob’s rope, attacked with lighted sticks of dynamite, and injured by acid sprayed in her eyes. But through it all, she acted with dignity and courage, and refused to back down. Warriors Don’t Cry is, at times, a difficult but necessary reminder of the valuable lessons we can learn from our nation’s past. It is a story of courage and the bravery of a handful of young, black students who used their voices to influence change during a turbulent time.

This book knocked my socks off. My limited knowledge of the battle to integrate Little Rock's Central High in 1957 didn't prepare me for Melba Moore Beals's account of the daily ordeal she and the other children had to survive to endure a year on the front lines of school integration. Should be required reading for all adults in our country-- and probably for high school students, too. The past is never dead. It's not even past.

This is an ABRIDGED EDITION!!!! If you need to read this book for school, it might be helpful to know that it is not the complete version and you will be missing a lot of information. Amazon failed to mention it!!! Now I will have to find the original version and read it... again!!! What a waste of time!!!!

The book itself is wonderful however, I was looking for an unabridged version for my child's school assignment, and the product summary did not indicate that this was not the unabridged version. I was very disappointed when I received the book and had to go elsewhere to find the version I was looking for.

I read this book in 8th grade. I read half of this book each niggt at bedtime with my 11 year old daughter and we discussed racism, as that has been a big issue in our country lately and I wanted her to understnad the history behind where these news stories are coming from. Hearing some of the language in this book was difficult, but necessary to allow us to understand why we never want to go back to a time like that again. Yes, my daughter learned the N word...and a few other swear words in this book. But we also learned some valuable lessons about our country, including racism, bigotry, sexism, friendship, economics, and inequality. We also made connections to faith in God and ourselves when things are difficult.

Thoroughly enjoyed reading the recollections and experiences of Melba. Well written and moving account of that first year in Central High. She does a nice job of sticking to the events as she experienced them without adding unnecessary commentary. She lets the events speak for themselves. Highly recommend.

I felt this book was so well written, as only Melba could have done. I was enthralled by her descriptive passages of the injury she and her friends endured. It's a page turner that I could barely put down. Loved her Grandma and the faith that saw her through. I was in junior high in CA at the time. Our schools were already integrated. This book really opened my eyes to the horrible conditions in Arkansas .

Read this book along with my daughter for her PreAP English class.

Gut-wrenching. The writing is superb but the pain and horror of the author's experience as part of the "Little Rock 9" left me aching for those who have also been victimized due to race, religion, and sexual orientation. I highly recommend reading this book as a means of discussing the turbulent Civil Rights era with your child but also as a springboard to conversations concerning issues of bullying, persecution, and bigotry in our culture today.

Bought for my daughter who is reading this in class. I read it first. It is an important story, but it drags so much I lost interest after the first half. Which is a shame, because I find this piece of history fascinating. I am appalled at the people who said and did terrible things based on race during this time. I'm sure all readers will do as I have done and ask themselves, how would I have reacted? We'd all like to think we are above that kind of thing, but considering the times and the generations of tradition, I wonder if many of us might have fallen victim to the same awful thinking if that's all we'd been taught. A good reminder that each of us needs to think for ourselves and establish higher standards for how we treat each other and believe.
