The Little Rock Nine were a group of nine African American students who enrolled at Little Rock Central High School, which had previously been an all-white institution. Their attendance was met with intense resistance, including an angry mob and the intervention of the Arkansas National Guard, which was ordered by Governor Orval Faubus to prevent them from entering the school. The situation escalated to a point where President Eisenhower had to intervene, sending federal troops to enforce the students’ right to attend the school. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2007, various commemorative events and discussions highlighted the legacy of the Little Rock Nine, reflecting on issues of race and inequality in education.
