A crisis in Little Rock, Arkansas displayed the white residents anger and frustration over the desegregation planned for Central High School. The nine black students who planned to attend the school and take action on the integration were to be turned away on the first day by the National Guard, who were ordered to do so by Governor Orval Faubus.
