3 Sept 1957 Jahr - The Little Rock Nine

Beschreibung:

On September 3, 1957, Governor Orval Faubus mobilised the Arkansas National Guard to prevent nine African American students from integrating Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. Several  failed attempts to negotiate with Faubus led President Dwight D. Eisenhower took action against the defiant governor by simultaneously federalizing the Arkansas National Guard, extracting the Guard from Faubus' control, and directing 1,000 troops from the United States Army  to oversee the integration. On September 25, 1957, the students, now known as the Little Rock Nine, enrolled in Central High School, a prestigious academic institution with a student body of approximately 2,000 white students.
