After the Supreme Court ruling in Brown v. Board of Ed. that ordered that schools be desegregated "in all deliberate speed," attempts to integrate Little Rock High School was made. However the governor of AR sent troops to stop this integration. In turn, the President sent federal troops to enforce desegregation as he viewed the move by the AR Governor as a threat to the authority of the national government. Federal soldiers finally ended up forcing desegregation and because of the federal troops, the first black children started to go to Little Rock High School which was to that point a white-only school.
