The nine brave students, known as the Little Rock Nine, integrated Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, in September 1957. Their efforts to attend the previously all-white school were met with violent opposition, leading President Dwight D. Eisenhower to deploy federal troops to ensure their safety and uphold the Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education, which mandated desegregation in public schools. The integration was a pivotal moment in the Civil Rights Movement.

How did president eisenhower respond to the little rock school crisis?

In a word, he used federal troops to force the integration of Little Rock Central High. On September 2,1957 nine African-American students planned to integrate the previously all-white Little Rock Arkansas Central High School. Gov. Faubus , saying that he feared rioting, had the school surrounded by national guardsmen and warned all blacks to stay away from the area. On September 20, a federal judge issued an injunction ordering Faubus to call off the guard and allow the students to integrate the schools. They entered the school and a mob gathered outside and threatened to attack the school. The student escaped out the back. Eisenhower then set federal paratroopers in to escort the students and guarded them day after day until January, when they were no longer needed.
