After the Supreme Court ruling in Brown v. Board of Ed. that ordered that schools be desegregated "in all deliberate speed," attempts to integrate Little Rock High School was made. However the governor of AR sent troops to stop this integration.

Federal soldiers finally ended up forcing desegregation and because of the federal troops, the first black children started to go to Little Rock High School which was to that point a white-only school.
