Glen and April talk with Dr. Sybil Hampton, who at 15 became one of a small group of Black students to integrate Little Rock Central High School in the years following the Little Rock Nine. Hampton describes the family and church network that prepared her for that role — her parents' work with the NAACP, her paper route for the Arkansas State Press, and a home life built around what she calls "the long game." She explains how the Little Rock School Board's pupil placement law forced Black students through a screening process before they could enroll, and how two board members opposed her admission after she was quoted defending fellow students. Hampton was placed as the only Black student in her grade, sat through three years in which almost no classmate spoke to her, and describes the silence as harder to endure than open hostility. She talks candidly about what carried her through it — her parents' insistence that she never cry at school, and the "foot soldier" framing her father gave her, distinguishing the quiet work of desegregation from the more visible roles of the Little Rock Nine.
