Now, the president of the Central High student body in 1957-58 has compiled memories related by over a hundred students from the previously untold ‘third side of the story’ to provide a glimpse into the thoughts and actions of the rest of the students in that tense year.
Central in Our Lives provides fresh insight into the hearts and minds of the students, faculty and coaches as they witnessed history being made. Readers will find surprising stories of the events of those days seen from new perspectives that have not come to the public light until now. This book helps complete the story for the first time.
This 201-page book of those memories is published by the Butler Center for Arkansas Studies, Central Arkansas Library System, and distributed by University of Arkansas Press, Inc. The paperback is $24.95 and the hardcover version is $33.95. Both are available from UA Press, 105 McIlroy, Fayetteville AR 72701.
