Little Rock Nine
Politic crisis about a group of nine African Americans who attended a previously all-white school in 1957 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Little Rock Nine is a group of African-American students who were in the Little Rock Central High School, Arkansas in 1957, following the Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education II. This started the Little Rock Crisis, in which the students were stopped from entering the racially segregated school by Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus. They attended after President Eisenhower sent the United States Army to let them in. This is thought to be one of the most important events in the Civil Rights Movement.
