One of the most famous cases was the story of the Little Rock Nine, which took place in Little Rock, Arkansas. Governor Orval Faubus had the National Guard block nine black students from entering Central High in Little Rock because he didn't want to integrate Little Rock's schools. President Eisenhower heard of this and sent Federal Troops to protect the nine black students.

The whites fought hard to keep the blacks out and today the school is 60% black.
