I'm studying this in school...

The national guard was originally there to prevent these nine icons into the school. However after the supreme court case brown v board of education which allowed the integration in public schools. Therefore the governer of Arkansas said that he would withdraw all soilders and police officers from the school. Leaving these nine children to the hands of the people of Arkansas who despised them. Dwight D. Eisenhower sent in the 101st airborne to escort these nine students to school everyday.

@owoimaha: i think you're confused. The governor originally sent troops to uphold racist beliefs but at the president's urging he took out the troops but left nine students to a potentially lethal mob. Facing this Eisenhower decided to send soldiers to protect them.

There were troops sent by the state to block the Africans from entering sent by Orval Faubus and then there were troops sent by the President to block the state troops.

@clos650650 Its Elizabeth Eckford. And I have no comment on the grammer and spelling in that sentance...

The troops were not sent to carry out the law, they were sent to uphold racist beliefs.

She should have taught your stupid ass how to speak, read and write.

"That a white man OUGHT to hobnob with a Negro because otherwise he would not be Christian or unselfish involves a flagrant assumption of superiority. The Negro, if he is not a fool, loves his own inspiration and expands in the society of his own people. Vital liberty differentiates. Only vacant freedom leaves all in the same anonymous crowd." -- George Santayana, 'Dominations and Powers'
