Teachers! Bring Your Students to Play The "Price of Rights" at Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site

The "Price of Rights" is a new, interactive program designed to engage students in grades 4-8 in learning about the soldiers of freedom who paid steep prices while fighting to earn the rights many of us enjoy today. Students become contestants in a game show to learn about 1950s culture and important civil rights achievements from ordinary people. Not only do students learn about history-makers, they learn about their own roles in the unfinished business of forming "a more perfect union."

To schedule your day to appear on the "Price of Rights" call the site at 501.374.1957 or email us.
