Clinton met the nine students who were the first black students to enter Little Rock Central High School and retraced the historic steps they took in 1957 to integrate public education. In remarks for the occasion, the president noted the United States' persistent racial divide: "Segregation is no longer the law, but too often separation is still the rule. We have to keep working on it - not just with our voices, but with our laws."
