Desegregation is a policy to remove barriers that results in separate facilities for white and black races.
Brown vs Board of Education ruled that schools had to be desegregated and a school board could no longer have a school for the black kids and one for the white kids. It also impacted other areas of society.

Desegregation is the process of ending the separation of different racial or ethnic groups, typically in schools, housing, or public facilities. It aims to promote equality and eliminate discrimination by allowing people of all backgrounds to have equal access to opportunities and resources.

If a state would refuse a federal law what would happen?
The federal government can send in the military. In 1963 the Alabama National Guard was federalized to ensure desegragation at the University of Alabama.If it is not a federal law then there are other ways the federal government can apply pressure to the state law. For example states have the right to determine the drinking age; however, as part of a road funding act the federal government can withhold money for roads in states were the drinking age is not twenty-one.
Why did Faubus close schools from 1958-1959?
Eugene Faubus, the Governor of Arkansas, closed Little Rock's four high schools: Central High, Hall High, Little Rock Technical High (a white school), and Horace Mann (a black school) in 1958-1959 in an effort to block desegregation. His actions were an aftermath of the desegragation of Little Rock High School in 1957-1958 and a battle between federal and state government over implementation of the Brown vs Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas decision.

I'm a 5th grader and I know that he fought for desegragation and to help all African- Americans.

What happened in Brown vs Board of Education and why is it important?
Brown v. Board of Education, (1954) declared that segregation in the school systems was unconstitutional.With this decision, the Supreme Court put an end to the pretense that "separate" could be assured of being "equal" (as established in Plessy v. Ferguson) and thereby struck down all laws mandating racially-segregated educational facilities; shortly following this was a series of Civil Rights Acts ending de jure segregation more generally, along with the civil-rights movement for active integration toward racial harmony.More Information:The Supreme Court of the United States, in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) held that "separate but equal" public facilities were not unconstitutional according to the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection clause. There were obvious moral problems with this ruling. In much of the US South, African-Americans were treated as second-class citizens, much like South African blacks were treated in apartheid South Africa. Although technically all blacks in the United States were given access to the same kinds of facilities as whites, they were prohibited from using the "white-only" facilities which almost always were far superior in quality.The Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Topeka Kansas Board of Education et al. (1954) held that separate facilities, in education, were "inherently unequal" in that they essentially caused black schoolchildren to be stigmatized, psychologically, in being prohibited from attending public schools reserved only for whites. This, the majority argued, made "separate but equal" unequal in de facto terms.Although some have criticized this decision on the psychological argument, it was a landmark case that essentially overturned the 1896 Plessy decision of "separate but equal".Since the Supreme Court operates on the rule of precedent- where one decision is used in future decisions that have similar Constitutional implications- Brown paved the way for whole-scale desegregation of the South (and some parts of the North as well). After Brown a succession of cases, and finally Congressional legislation with the Civil Rights Laws passed in the mid-1960s, forbade segregation in first public, and later private facilities. It all started with Brown.Case Citation:Brown v. Board of Education, 347 US 483 (1954)
