Abstract
ABSTRACTThis brief comment examines the discourse surrounding the sixtieth anniversary of the Little Rock Central High Crisis. It begins with the changes that undergird discourses about segregation in contemporary Little Rock. Then, it proceeds to the public celebration of the sixtieth anniversary of the Central High crisis to understand how liberal discourses about segregation mutate and circulate today. I argue that the Little Rock crisis is an important site to understand how the structures shaping public education are influencing the rhetorical modes of engagement with racial politics in ways that redeploy the topoi of segregation, especially in the discourse of white rhetors.
