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.
To enforce integration of the high school there
Governor Orval Faubus called the Arkansas National Guard in 1957 to prevent nine African American students, known as the Little Rock Nine, from entering Little Rock Central High School. This action was taken in defiance of a federal court order to integrate the school, reflecting Faubus's opposition to desegregation and his desire to appease segregationist sentiments in the state. The situation escalated, leading to federal intervention by President Eisenhower, who sent troops to ensure the students' safe entry.
