The Little Rock Crisis began in 1957 when nine African American students, known as the Little Rock Nine, attempted to integrate Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, following the Supreme Court's ruling in Brown v. Board of Education that declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional. Despite federal law, Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus deployed the National Guard to block the students from entering the school, leading to significant national attention and conflict. The situation escalated, prompting President Dwight D. Eisenhower to intervene by sending federal troops to ensure the students' safe entry and uphold the law. This crisis highlighted the deep resistance to desegregation in the South and marked a pivotal moment in the Civil Rights Movement.
