ELIZABETH AND HAZEL: Two Women of Little Rock, by David Margolick (Yale University Press, 320 pp.)
In a marvelous example of bringing history to life through individual stories, Vanity Fair writer David Margolick traces the lives of Elizabeth Eckford and Hazel Bryan Massery. Their stories were made famous in 1957 when Massery screamed at Eckford as she attempted to integrate Little Rock’s Central High School and a photographer captured the two girls in an iconic photograph. Margolick follows their later lives and tells a fascinating story of race, relationships, and the struggle to forgive. (October)
