Terrence J. Roberts is one of the "Little Rock Nine" who integrated Little Rock Central High School when President Eisenhower called out the 81st Airborne Division of the US Army to protect him and eight other black students as they exercised their constitutional right to attend the smae public high school as white students.  Roberts later earned a Ph.D. in Psychology (Southern IL University), and taught in California universities until he became a dean at California State University.  He has also maintained a clinical practice in psychology for many years.  Now he heads a management consulting firm that counsels institutions and corporations on race relations and other matters.  Dr. Roberts is a much sought-after public speaker, making fifty or more public addresses each year to audiences nationwide.
