Little Rock 9

The Little Rock 9 is a direct result of the Brown vs Board of Education Ruling, nine students in Little Rock, Arkansas were escorted into the public all-white high school for the first time in history. This decision was made on September 4th, 1957 by the Governor of Arkensas, Orval Faubus, as he arranged for the National Guard to set barriers and create a safe entry into the schools for these students. The "Little Rock 9" first entered the newly desegregated school on September 25th, and bravely walked in unison together through a crowd of angry protestors.
