The opening paragraph of this article is factually incorrect! The Arkansas Gazette won the Pulitzer Prize for their coverage of this event. Will Counts, was a finalist for the Pulizter Price for his photos of this event -- the committee initially voted to give him the prize but it was overturned because the Arkansas Gazette won the prize for their coverage and they did not want to give out all of the awards for the same event. It was the photos of Will Counts that brought national attention the Little Rock -- and the reason cited by Eisenhower for sending troops to Little Rock. Not to credit the fine work of Will Counts is intellectually dishonest! The UPI photo credited here is just a bad copy of the GREAT images taken by Counts of this event. Another photo of the event taken by Counts was chosen as the "News Picture of the Year" of the year for 1957 by the National Press Photographers Association.
