In 1957, during the Little Rock Nine crisis, President Dwight D. Eisenhower sent 1,000 federal soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division to Little Rock, Arkansas. This was done to enforce the integration of Central High School and ensure the safety of the nine African American students attending. The deployment marked a significant federal intervention in the Civil Rights Movement.
