President Eisenhower did not agree with the decision of the Supreme Court in Brown vs Board of Education that educational institutions in the South were unequal and segregation hurt students who did not get an "equal" education. He felt the decision was a mistake. But, as President he was sworn to uphold the law and enforce the law. Eisenhower was a constitutionalist and to him, the Court's ruling had the force of law. Governor Faubus of Arkansas was defying the Court's order so Eisenhower took over command of the National Guard and ordered troops to enforce the integration of Central High School.

When President Dwight D. Eisenhower sent federal troops to Little Rock, Arkansas, during the 1957 school integration crisis, he was exercising his constitutional power as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces. This action was taken to enforce federal law and ensure the protection of the Little Rock Nine, a group of African American students attempting to integrate Central High School. Eisenhower's intervention highlighted the federal government's role in upholding civil rights and maintaining order in the face of state resistance to desegregation.
The federal government did not enforce the court's decision.
President Dwight D. Eisenhower took decisive action to enforce the Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education, which declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional. In 1957, he sent federal troops to Little Rock, Arkansas, to ensure the safe integration of nine African American students, known as the Little Rock Nine, into the previously all-white Central High School. This intervention underscored the federal government's commitment to upholding civil rights and enforcing the Supreme Court's ruling against segregation.
President Eisenhower ordered federal troops to protect the black students and ensure their entry into Central High School. This was done to enforce the Supreme Court's ruling in the Brown v. Board of Education case, which declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional.
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---
