President Eisenhower signed the Civil Rights Bill of 1957 which became the first civil rights legislation since Reconstruction. Although he signed the bill into law, he was uncomfortable dealing with racial matters. He never endorsed one of the biggest Supreme Court blows to segregation, Brown v. Board of Education. Although he sent federal troops to Little Rock during the integration of Central High School, he never said whether he endorsed integration.
