Nine students, known as the Little Rock Nine, integrated Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, in September 1957. Their enrollment marked a significant event in the American Civil Rights Movement, as it was one of the first instances of a public school in the South integrating after the Supreme Court's Brown v. Board of Education decision in 1954. They faced intense opposition and hostility, but their courageous efforts became a symbol of the struggle for desegregation in the United States.
