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.
