| Obverse description | The obverse depicts the feet of the nine African American students known as the 'Little Rock Nine,' shown in close-up as they are escorted by a uniformed soldier toward the entrance of Little Rock Central High School. The composition commemorates their historic enrollment in 1957, following the Supreme Court's landmark ruling in Brown v. Board of Education, which mandated desegregation of public schools. The legend DESEGREGATION IN EDUCATION arcs across the upper field, with LIBERTY and the date 2007 also present, along with the motto IN GOD WE TRUST. The initials RM and CLV appear in the field, referencing the designer and engraver respectively. |
