The push to desegregate schools in Little Rock, Arkansas, was primarily driven by civil rights activists, including the NAACP and local leaders like Daisy Bates. They sought to challenge the systemic racism and discrimination prevalent in the education system, aiming for equal educational opportunities for Black students. The landmark Supreme Court ruling in Brown v. Board of Education (1954) provided a legal foundation for their efforts, declaring that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional. This activism culminated in the Little Rock Nine crisis in 1957, when nine African American students attempted to enroll at the previously all-white Central High School.

so that the guard would follow its commanders and prevent violence
During the effort to desegregate schools in Little Rock, Arkansas, President Eisenhower federalized the Arkansas National Guard, placing it under the command of federal authority to ensure the protection of African American students attempting to attend Little Rock Central High School. This action was taken after the state governor had previously used the National Guard to prevent the students from entering the school. Eisenhower's intervention marked a significant federal response to civil rights issues and the enforcement of desegregation. Ultimately, he sent federal troops to maintain order and protect the students, demonstrating the federal government's commitment to upholding civil rights.
