The crisis in Little Rock, Arkansas, in 1957 was primarily resolved through federal intervention. President Dwight D. Eisenhower sent the 101st Airborne Division to enforce the integration of Little Rock Central High School after Governor Orval Faubus deployed the National Guard to block the entry of nine African American students, known as the "Little Rock Nine." This federal action ensured that the students could safely attend the school, marking a significant moment in the Civil Rights Movement. Ultimately, the intervention underscored the federal government's role in upholding desegregation laws.
