Who are the two white men Melba prays for in Warriors don't cry?

In "Warriors Don't Cry," Melba Pattillo Beals prays for two white men: her teacher, Mrs. McCabe, and the National Guardsman who is assigned to protect her during the integration of Central High School. She hopes for their safety and understanding, as they play pivotal roles in her journey toward integration and overcoming adversity. Their support contrasts with the hostility she faces from many others during this challenging time.
