The Little Rock integration primarily involved nine African American students, known as the Little Rock Nine, who were enrolled at Little Rock Central High School in 1957. Key figures included Governor Orval Faubus, who opposed integration and called in the National Guard to prevent the students from entering, and President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who ultimately intervened by sending federal troops to enforce the students' right to attend school. The students faced significant hostility and discrimination from some white community members and students during this historic event.
