President Dwight D. Eisenhower's response to the events at Little Rock Central High School in 1957 was significant and assertive. When the Arkansas governor, Orval Faubus, deployed the National Guard to block the entry of nine Black students—known as the Little Rock Nine—Eisenhower intervened by sending federal troops to ensure their safety and enforce integration.
