60 years ago today on Sept. 4, 1957 the Little Rock Nine students were barred from attending school when governor Orval Faubus ordered the National Guard to prevent them from entering the high school. Pictured here is student Elizabeth Eckford walking away from the school after being turned away. This image ran in the Sept. 16, 1957 issue of LIFE with the following caption: “Jeers from a girl, Hazel Bryant (right), follow Elizabeth Eckford as she walks from Little Rock’s Central High. Guardsmen barred her from school.” Although the Little Rock Nine were finally able to attend classes by late September 1957, the fight wasn’t over: throughout the rest of the school year, they faced ongoing abuse, threats, discrimination and acts of hazing from their white peers and, disgracefully, from equally vicious adults.

Olya Moore is the talented artist behind Oliness Art Studio, an online shop where she sells her hand embroidered space themed purses and brooches. Her work consists of thread and tiny glass beads, pleasantly arranged to create tiny universes that fit in the palm of your hand. Vibrant, bright and dreamy Olya’s work truly reflects the passion she has for her craft.
