Sondra Gordy is professor of history at the University of Central Arkansas. She produced a documentary about the topic, entitled The Lost Year. A copy of the DVD can be ordered at thelostyear.com.
Much has been written about the Little Rock School Crisis of 1957, but very little has been devoted to the following year--the Lost Year, 1958-59--when Little Rock schools were closed to all students, both black and white. Finding the Lost Year is the first book to look at the unresolved elements of the school desegregation crisis and how it turned into a community crisis, when policymakers thwarted desegregation and challenged the creation of a racially integrated community and when competing groups staked out agendas that set Arkansas's capital on a path that has played out for the past fifty years.
