Happy Birthday, Ernest Gideon Green! You've always been a trailblazer—after all, not everyone can say they graduated high school and made history at the same time. Your courage in 1957 didn't just open doors; it kicked them wide open for generations to follow.Today we celebrate you—not only as the first African-American graduate of Little Rock Central High School—but also as someone who continues inspiring us with your wisdom and humor. May your birthday be filled with laughter, joy, and cake that's sweeter than any victory you've achieved (though admittedly, that might be tough). Cheers to you!
