The Monument to the Little Rock Nine, Civil rights monument at Arkansas State Capitol, Little Rock, United States
Nine bronze statues stand together on the capitol grounds, representing the African American students who integrated Little Rock Central High School.
The monument commemorates the events of 1957 when federal troops were deployed to protect students during the desegregation of public schools.
Each bronze figure includes a plaque containing personal quotes from the Little Rock Nine members about their experiences during integration.
Located at 500 Woodlane Street, the monument offers wheelchair access and connects to public transportation routes throughout Little Rock.
