Elisabeth Åsbrink’s book GLORIA is now released in Sweden, written i close co-operation with Gloria Ray Karlmark.

Gloria was one of nine black 14-year-olds who took the step into an all-white high school in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1957, the ”Little Rock Nine”. The rasist threats and harassment that they met became world news and President Eisenhower had to send elite troops to protect the them on their way to school.

GLORIA is the story of what happened in 1957, of Gloria’s life and of America’s racist history, as well as of white supremacy.

GLORIA will be published in English in 2025.
