The inspiration for me to create this video being our granddaughter, Gemma (12), listening to her awe-inspiring rendition on her guitar at a concert organised by her music school, convinced me that this was one video that I simply had to do. I dedicate this video to our young Gemma. “True reconciliation can occur only when we honestly acknowledge our painful, but shared, past.” - Elizabeth Eckford When Sir Paul McCartney visited Little Rock, he told the crowd about how the civil rights movement and the Little Rock Nine inspired one of the Beatles' biggest hits Paul McCartney wrote this song about the civil rights struggle for African Americans after reading about race riots in the US. He penned it in his kitchen in Scotland not long after an incident in Little Rock when the federal courts forced the racial desegregation of the Arkansas capital's school system. "I was sitting around with my acoustic guitar and I'd heard about the civil rights troubles that were happening in the '60s in Alabama, Mississippi, and Little Rock in particular," he told GQ (Gentlemen's Quarterly). "I just thought it would be really good if I could write something that if it ever reached any of the people going through those problems, it might give them a little bit of hope. So, I wrote 'Blackbird.'" Paul McCartney met two of the women who helped inspire the Beatles’ White Album classic ‘Blackbird’ backstage at his Little Rock, Arkansas concert Saturday night. The women, Thelma Mothershed Wair and Elizabeth Eckford, were two members of the Little Rock Nine, a group of nine black students who faced discrimination and the lasting impact of segregation after enrolling in the all-white Little Rock Central High School in 1957, following the Supreme Court’s historic Brown vs. the Board of Education decision. After the Little Rock Nine enrolled, Arkansas governor Orval Faubus protested their entrance into the school, which in turn sparked the Little Rock Crisis. It was these events that inspired a young McCartney to pen the song “Blackbird.” The Little Rock Nine were a group of nine African American students enrolled in Little Rock Central High School in 1957. Their enrolment was followed by the Little Rock Crisis, in which the students were initially prevented from entering the racially segregated school by Orval Faubus, the Governor of Arkansas. They then attended after the intervention of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. In the famous photos of the event, one teenage girl can be clearly seen screaming at Eckford. That girl was Hazel Bryan. Bryan and Eckford became friends 40 years later when they both attended an anniversary commemoration event. They posed for a “reconciliation” poster together. The photograph was taken by Counts, the same photographer who took the original image. But by early 2000, their friendship ended. Their relationship was strained for other reasons, Eckford believed Bryan didn't own up to her past as well as she should have, and began to suspect she was too much of an attention-seeker. The two were never able to mend the tension and their friendship sadly went downhill.    • Black history: Carlotta Walls LaNier      • Nine from Little Rock, 1964 - Restored      • 60 Years On, A Look Back at the Littl...      • JANE ELLIOTT 2017      • 💎NEIL DIAMOND ~ DRY YOUR EYES [Live A...   BLACKBIRD (1968) Paul McCartney (Lennon & McCartney) Neil Diamond - Album: Stones (2010) Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these sunken eyes and learn to see All your life You were only waiting for this moment to be free Blackbird fly Blackbird fly Into the light of the dark black night Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these sunken eyes and learn to see All your life You were only waiting for this moment to be free Blackbird fly Blackbird fly Into the light of the dark black night Blackbird fly Blackbird fly Into the light of the dark black night Into the light of the dark black night Into the light of the dark black night
