President Dwight D. Eisenhower sent federal troops to Little Rock, Arkansas, in 1957 to enforce the integration of nine African American students, known as the "Little Rock Nine," into Central High School. This action was taken in response to the state's resistance to the Supreme Court's ruling in Brown v. Board of Education, which declared segregation in public schools unconstitutional. Eisenhower's decision aimed to uphold federal law and protect the students' rights to attend the school.
