NEW YORK—In 1999, President Bill Clinton bestowed the Congressional Gold Medal on the Little Rock Nine. Who were they and what did they achieve? The answer is dramatized at the Sheen Center.

Written and directed by Rajendra Ramoon Maharaj, “Little Rock” re-creates a key time in the Civil Rights movement when nine teenagers overcame adversity to integrate their local high school.
