Thelma Mothershed Wair, a member of the Little Rock Nine who integrated an Arkansas school, has died
SUMMARY: Thelma Mothershed Wair, one of the “Little Rock Nine” who integrated Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, has died at 83 following complications from multiple sclerosis. In 1957, she faced hostility as Arkansas’ Governor Faubus blocked her and other Black students from enrolling. With President Eisenhower’s intervention, they attended school amidst threats. Mothershed earned degrees in education and counseling, worked as a teacher and counselor, and made significant contributions until her retirement. She leaves behind a son, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Each member of the Little Rock Nine received a Congressional Gold Medal, which they donated to the Clinton Presidential Library.
