Hoxie: The First Stand airs on WKNO on Friday, July 11, 2025

This documentary by Memphis filmmaker David Appleby, aired nationally on PBS in 2005, shared in honor of the 70th anniversary of the desegregation of Hoxie, Arkansas's schools. The story of Hoxie shows the alternative to resisting desegregation, when principled people, despite great political and personal risk, stood firm against the racism around them.
