Dorothy Counts made national news in September 1957, when at the age of 15, she became one of the first and, at the time, the only black student to enroll in the newly desegregated Harry Harding High School in Charlotte, North Carolina.

On September 4, 1957, Counts was greeted by a jeering swarm of people who spat, threw trash, and yelled epithets at her as she entered the building.

Counts was dropped off on her first day of school by her father. When she got out of the car to head down the hill, her father told her, “Hold your head high. You are inferior to no one.”
