So Long Hot Springs, Hello Little Rock

We woke up early this morning, so we were ready to go down in the hotel restaurant for our free breakfast! If you stay in this hotel thi spring and stay Sunday through Thursday people over 50 years of age get breakfast for free! I had French Toast and bacon and Bud had scrambled eggs, hash browns, toast and ham! We split the ham and bacon. After breakfast we went back to our room and grabbed our stuff and went down and checked out!

Then we drove a couple hours north to Little Rock to Central High School built in 1927. The school desegregation crisis here put on trial America's commitment principles. It was the first significant test of the 1954 Supreme Court ruling in Brown vs Board of Education that separate educational facilities are inherently unequal. The successful outcome affirmed the basis of that ruling-the 14th amendment's promise of equal protection of the law. The 9 students were called The Little Rock Nine.

Then the gas station on the corner where the media hung out waiting for some negative stories

It was a sad time in our history...

Then we drove by Little Rick's State Capitol

It looks like our Nation's Capitol Building

Then we went to William Jefferson Clintons Presidential Library and Museum
