14 ottob 1957 anni - Resistance to school integration in Little Rock, Arkansas

Descrizione:

A group of black students decided to enroll in a high school in Little Rock. The governor tried to prevent this and went as far as sending the National Guard to prevent the students from entering. Eisenhower saw this and even though he apposed the decision in Brown v. B.O.E, he sent in federal troops to federalize the National Guard. This let the children enroll and attend school under the federal troops watch.
