Little Rock has been Arkansas's capital city since 1821 when it replaced Arkansas Post as the capital of the Territory of Arkansas.
The Governor was Orval Eugene Faubus but the year was in 1957. In 1954 the Governor of Arkansas was Francis Cherry. The incident was called the Little Rock Crisis and involved the forced desegregation of the Little Rock Public School System. Faubus used the Arkansas National Guard to stop Black Americans from entering Central High School as ordered under Brown v. Board of Education. In October of 1957 President Eisenhower federalized the Arkansas National Guard, ordered them to return to their armories and sent in the 101st Airborne Division to carry out the desegregation ordered by the Supreme Court.

The Little Rock school board had established a plan to desegregate its schools, beginning with Central High School. Nine young African American students offered to enroll. But Arkansas governor Orval Faubus announced his opposition to integration and called out the Arkansas state National Guard. When the nine students arrived at the school, the National Guard blocked their way of entry.None of the nine students gained entrance into the school that day. Up until the Little Rock crisis occurred, President Eisenhower had provided small leadership on the civil rights front. When Governor Faubus resisted the will of the federal courts, Eisenhower had to act. President Eisenhower sent federal troops to Little Rock to protect the students and to enforce the court's decision (which happened after the Brown decision).Your answer is Little Rock, Arkansas.---Nikolaus Howe---
