What happen in 1957 when nine black kids went to a white school?

In 1957, nine Black students known as the Little Rock Nine attempted to integrate Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, following the Supreme Court's Brown v. Board of Education decision that declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional. Their arrival was met with violent protests and resistance from segregationists, prompting Governor Orval Faubus to deploy the National Guard to block their entry. Eventually, President Dwight D. Eisenhower intervened by sending federal troops to ensure the students could safely attend the school, marking a significant moment in the Civil Rights Movement. The Little Rock Nine faced ongoing harassment but became symbols of the struggle for desegregation and equal rights in education.
