2010 Vail Valley Luncheon

A Place at Carlotta’s Table: Education & Civil Rights –
Keys to Economic Self Sufficiency

Please join the Vail Valley Steering Committee for their Annual Luncheon, featuring keynote speaker Carlotta Walls LaNier.

In 1957, at age 14, Carlotta Walls LaNier and eight other students, later known as the Little Rock Nine, integrated Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. This act of courage and defiance became the catalyst for change in the American educational system. Anger and violent behavior threatened their safety and motivated President Dwight D. Eisenhower to dispatch the Army’s 101st Airborne Division to protect their constitutional rights. LaNier went on to graduate from Central High School in 1960. She and her fellow students understood that a good education was needed for a promising future.
