Little Rock, Arkansas
In 1957, President Dwight D. Eisenhower sent federal troops to Little Rock, Arkansas, to protect nine African American students, known as the Little Rock Nine, as they integrated Central High School. This action was taken in response to violent protests and resistance from segregationists, defying a federal court order for desegregation. The deployment of troops aimed to ensure the students' safety and uphold the law.

The Little Rock school board had established a plan to desegregate its schools, beginning with Central High School. Nine young African American students offered to enroll. 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---

In September of 1954 President Dwight D. Eisenhower enforced the school integration. He sent troops to Little Rock, Arkansas to ensure the safety of the new black students.
President Eisenhower's action to uphold the U.S. Supreme Court's decision on school integration was primarily supported by the principle of federalism, which emphasizes the role of the federal government in enforcing civil rights. By intervening, Eisenhower asserted that federal authority was necessary to ensure compliance with the Court's ruling in Brown v. Board of Education, thereby reinforcing the rule of law and the protection of individual rights against state resistance. This action also reflected the principle of equality, promoting the idea that all students, regardless of race, should have equal access to education.
Basically, President Eisenhower ordered a division of the U.S. Army to escort the students to school. He also de-mobilized divisions of the Arkansas National Guard, just to remove them from the control of the Arkansas governor.
President Eisenhower sent federal troops to Little Rock, Arkansas, in 1957 to enforce school integration. This action was taken to ensure the safety of nine African American students, known as the "Little Rock Nine," who were attempting to attend the previously all-white Central High School amidst intense opposition and hostility. The federal troops helped uphold the court's ruling for desegregation and protect the students as they entered the school.
