Who was the Arkansas governor who ordered the National Guard to prevent integration of Little Rock's Central High School?

The Arkansas governor who ordered the National Guard to prevent the integration of Little Rock's Central High School in 1957 was Orval Faubus. His actions were in direct response to the Brown v. Board of Education decision, which mandated desegregation in public schools. Faubus's decision led to a significant confrontation between state and federal authorities, ultimately requiring federal intervention to ensure the students' safety and right to attend the school.
