In 1980, Huckaby published Crisis at Central High<\/i>, which recorded her memories of the integration crisis and the years following. The book detailed her role in assisting the students during the time of integration. Huckaby said she waited until after retiring, when she could not be fired, to publish a memoir about her experiences. The book details her experience during the crisis beginning a few weeks before the start of classes in 1957 and ending right after the graduation of 1958.<\/p>\n

In 1981, the book was turned into a made-for-TV movie titled Crisis at Central High<\/i> with Joanne Woodward starring as Elizabeth Huckaby. The film was shot primarily in Dallas, Texas, at the Woodrow Wilson High School.<\/p>\n

The book and the movie commemorate Huckaby\u2019s role in the Little Rock crisis as she attempted to support school integration, to maintain order among students, and to educate the students of Central High School.<\/p>\n
