Old photo resurfaces showing Jerry Jones in anti-segregation light

To a lesser extent, this group of Black students is known as the North Little Rock Six.

Two years earlier, the North Little Rock school board voted to integrate classes for seniors, but then-Arkansas Gov. Orval E. Faubus was largely opposed. Despite Faubus' beliefs, six students tried to enter the school, but with no luck. On Sept. 9, 1957, Richard Lindsey, Gerald Persons, Harold Smith, Eugene Hall, Frank Henderson and William Henderson attempted to enter the school despite being shoved and having dozens of white students blocking their entry. The six students eventually enrolled at a different school based on advice from the district's superintendent.

Go look at the picture and you will see Jones standing behind the cameras. Not in front of the Black students.

Get over yourself. Times change, life changes understanding changes. If judging some one about a nearl 70 year old picture is your litmus test then I can’t wait to hear how perfect you are. Don’t live in a glass home and throw rocks.

Really?

I see Jones behind the photographers. So we need to see more footage. Lots of cameras there that day.

You gonna bring up Sh** that he did when he was 14 years old, 65 years ago? That was a different time that they were living in. Are yall so desperate to find dirt on him that you have to go that far and try to make it count? Pathetic

Really - so Democrats did you vote for this racist's partner?

Really? Are you a Democrat and did you vote for this racist?

Really - are you Canadian & did you vote for this racist?

Really - how about this recent one? Do you vote for Democrats - the party who founded the KKK, Jim Crow laws, Segregation & voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964 & Voting Rights Act of 1965?

64 years ago during the 60s. Can't cancel him for being an onlooker either.

We ALL have made mistakes in the PAST! If is true or not it doesn’t matter.

I dont care Who you are, In the Darkest Crevices of Anyones Closet, Are Embarrassing, Brainless, Records of Something you did, or Said. It does NOT reflect in any way, who you are Today. Its Highly Unfair & Hypocritical to hold People in Contempt or Responsible for Closet Finds.

Who cares?

Well judging from the fact that his defacto GM is BLACK I’d say Jerry was never a racist and was probably just observing.

Why is this information vital and viral ? We know what side of the fence he’s on already 😂

Probably standing next to Joe Biden

The Little Rock Nine are Thelma Mothershed, Minnijean Brown, Elizabeth Eckford, Gloria Ray, Jefferson Thomas🤲🏾, Melba Beals, Terrence Roberts, Carlotta Walls, and Ernest Green. Why don't you reach out to some of them and get their opinion on Jerry Jones and '65 years ago.'

So what? That happens to be the time when we as a nation was going through that. And he was a 14 year old kid. Go back and post Bidens speeches from the 80's and 90's, and speak on that.

What does uncovered Jerry Jones photo from Little Rock tell us about the Cowboys owner?ARLINGTON — Jerry Jones is a storyteller. Not in a fictional sense, though some of the stories Jones has told over the years might leave you saying, “Did this... He’s part of the problem. It tells us he was in Arkansas as a kid. And not as close as the photographers putting a camera in everyone’s face. The media was soulless then too.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones discusses photo showing him at 1957 Arkansas desegregation protestDallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he was a 'curious kid' as he discussed a 1957 photo that surfaced this week, showing him among a group of white students at a school desegregation protest. How come he never said anything about this until a photo of him being there now surfaced? He came out hard against Kaepernick and black players kneeling. It all makes sense. You're going to try and cancel Jerry Jones from the cowboys now? OJ Simpson was just returning glasses
