The web search results mention student loan relief and debt amounts, but none of the provided evidence specifically confirms that 'Samantha Ferguson could not get payment relief on her $137,000 in private student loans.'

Claim 4: “Escorted by 200 policemen, the little band of frightened black and Puerto Rican seventh-graders last week walked slowly from their bus to the school door.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim describes a specific event involving '200 policemen' escorting 'black and Puerto Rican seventh-graders' 'last week.' While the evidence provides context about the Little Rock Nine and Puerto Rican culture, no source corroborates the specific details (200 policemen, seventh-graders, 'last week') of this particular event. The evidence is too disparate to corroborate the claim, but the claim itself is not contradicted by any source.
