4.5 x 5.5 Postcards At just 15 years old, Dorothy Counts made history on September 4, 1957, when she became the first Black student to integrate Harding High School in Charlotte, N orth Carolina.

She endured four days at Harding High, yet her courage became an unforgettable symbol of the fight for school desegregation. Show more
