President Eisenhower responded to the Little Rock Nine crisis by enforcing federal authority to ensure the students' integration into Little Rock Central High School. When the Arkansas governor, Orval Faubus, deployed the National Guard to block the students, Eisenhower ordered the 101st Airborne Division to protect the Nine and uphold the law. He emphasized the importance of maintaining order and the federal government's commitment to civil rights, marking a significant moment in the struggle for desegregation in the South.
