The 2007-P Desegregation Commemorative Silver Dollar stands as a powerful testament to the courage, resilience, and determination of African American high school students who played a pivotal role in desegregating Little Rock Central High School in 1957. This commemorative coin honors their enduring legacy and the monumental strides made in the pursuit of equal education. Here's a detailed description of this historic coin: Obverse Design: The obverse of the coin vividly portrays several students walking to school, symbolizing their unwavering commitment to accessing equal education opportunities in the face of adversity. These determined students are accompanied by an armed U.S. soldier, highlighting the need for federal intervention to enforce desegregation. The inscriptions "Liberty" and "Desegregation In Education 2007" serve as poignant reminders of the historical significance of this event. Additionally, the phrase "In God We Trust" underscores the faith and hope that sustained those who championed the cause of desegregation. Reverse Design: The reverse of the coin features an iconic image of Little Rock Central High School as it stood in 1957, the epicenter of the desegregation struggle. This revered institution serves as a symbol of the fight for equality and justice in education. The inscriptions "One Dollar," "E Pluribus Unum" (out of many, one), and "Little Rock Central High School" eloquently capture the essence of this historic milestone. "United States of America" reminds us that the struggle for civil rights and equality is an integral part of the nation's history.
