TODAY’S BLACK HISTORY ICON: DAISY BATES

A feminist before the term was invented, Daisy Bates refused to accept her assigned place in society.

Independent Lens’ “Daisy Bates: First Lady of Little Rock” tells the story of her life and public support of nine black students who registered to attend an all-white high school in Little Rock, Arkansas, which culminated in a crisis - pitting a president against a governor and a community against itself.

Watch “Daisy Bates: First Lady of Little Rock” now until Feb 16th.
