On September 24, 1957, President Dwight D. Eisenhower deployed federal troops to Little Rock, Arkansas, to enforce the integration of nine Black students, known as the Little Rock Nine, into Central High School. This action followed the state government's refusal to allow the students to enter the school, defying a federal court order. Eisenhower's intervention marked a significant moment in the Civil Rights Movement, demonstrating federal commitment to upholding desegregation despite local resistance.
