INDEPENDENT LENS - DAISY BATES: FIRST LADY OF LITTLE ROCK

As a black woman who was a feminist before the term was invented,  Daisy Bates refused to accept her  assigned place in society. This documentary tells the story of her life and public support of nine black students to attend the all-white Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, which culminated in a constitutional crisis -- pitting a president against a governor and a community against itself.
