On this date, Eisenhower made a statement about the Little Rock Central High School desegregation decision made by the Supreme Court. He stated that compliance was necessary .
President Eisenhower did not agree with the decision of the Supreme Court in Brown vs Board of Education that educational institutions in the South were unequal and segregation hurt students who did not get an "equal" education. He felt the decision was a mistake. But, as President he was sworn to uphold the law and enforce the law. Eisenhower was a constitutionalist and to him, the Court's ruling had the force of law. Governor Faubus of Arkansas was defying the Court's order so Eisenhower took over command of the National Guard and ordered troops to enforce the integration of Central High School.

One significant step toward the desegregation of public schools was the Supreme Court ruling in Brown v. Board of Education (1954), which declared segregation in public schools unconstitutional. This decision paved the way for the desegregation of schools across the United States.
He sent federal troops to oversee the integration of Central High School in Little Rock
Dwight D. Eisenhower was president when schools were legally desegregated in 1954. However, this came about due to the Supreme Court decision in Brown vs. Board of Education, not by Presidential order.
Eisenhower.
It encourged others.
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---
