integrate the public schools
nine African American students volunteered to integrate little rock's central high school as the first step in blossom's plan.
They were the first black students to integrate the high school at Little Rock, Arkansas. Eisenhower had to call out the army to protect them because the Governor of Arkansas tried to block them from coming to the school.

No, President Dwight D. Eisenhower sent the National Guard to Arkansas in 1957 during the contentious battle over school desegregation in Little Rock, when nine black students tried to integrate Central High School.
Basically, President Eisenhower ordered a division of the U.S. Army to escort the students to school. He also de-mobilized divisions of the Arkansas National Guard, just to remove them from the control of the Arkansas governor.
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---
