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.

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---
