The Salt Lake Tribune (4/8, Schencker) reports, "The first time Terrence Roberts walked into his new all-white high school in Little Rock, Arkansas, he felt one overwhelming emotion: fear." He and "eight other black students...integrated Little Rock Central High School" in 1957. This week, Roberts is visiting "several Salt Lake County schools" to share his story with a new generation. "Roberts said he and the others pressed forward despite daily beatings, threats and insults because it was the right thing to do."
