Desegregate the schools
Eisenhower put the Arkansas National Guard under Army command in front of schools in Little Rock during the effort to desegregate schools to keep the guard from being led by the governor of Arkansas and to prevent violence.
he needed the guard to follow the law, not the governor Arkansas
During the effort to desegregate schools in Little Rock, Arkansas, President Eisenhower federalized the Arkansas National Guard, placing it under the command of federal authority to ensure the protection of African American students attempting to attend Little Rock Central High School. This action was taken after the state governor had previously used the National Guard to prevent the students from entering the school. Eisenhower's intervention marked a significant federal response to civil rights issues and the enforcement of desegregation. Ultimately, he sent federal troops to maintain order and protect the students, demonstrating the federal government's commitment to upholding civil rights.
