Eisenhower's most dramatic response occurred in 1957 when Governor Faubus of Arkansas called out the Arkansas national guard to block Negro students from attending Little Rock High School. Eisenhower sent in federal troops and took over the national guard from Arkansas. The federal troops made sure the black students were allowed to go to class.
He ordered Army troops in to insure integration of the high school
The Little Rock school board had established a plan to desegregate its schools, beginning with Central High School. Nine young African American students offered to enroll. But Arkansas governor Orval Faubus announced his opposition to integration and called out the Arkansas state National Guard. When the nine students arrived at the school, the National Guard blocked their way of entry.None of the nine students gained entrance into the school that day. Up until the Little Rock crisis occurred, President Eisenhower had provided small leadership on the civil rights front. When Governor Faubus resisted the will of the federal courts, Eisenhower had to act. President Eisenhower sent federal troops to Little Rock to protect the students and to enforce the court's decision (which happened after the Brown decision).Your answer is Little Rock, Arkansas.---Nikolaus Howe---
