4 déc. 1957 - Little Rock Nine

Description:

The Little Rock Nine was a group of nine African American students enrolled in Little Rock Central High School in 1957. Their enrollment was followed by the Little Rock Crisis, in which the students were initially prevented from entering the racially segregated school by Orval Faubus, the Governor of Arkansas.

They had a major effect because they managed to make the supreme court rule it illegal to have segregation in schools.
