The four African American children admitted to all-white schools in Charlotte in 1957 were Gus Roberts, Dorothy Counts, Girvaud Roberts, and Delois Huntley. Counts, in some of the more famous violent episodes of Charlotte's history, endured ridicule and harassment daily at Harding High School before withdrawing. Gus Roberts, later photographed here in his military uniform, endured at Central High School and became the first black high schooler to graduate from a previously all-white school in Charlotte.
