What is Little Rock Nine?
[[File : Little Rock Nine protest.jpg|thumb|]] The '''Little Rock Nine''' is a group of [[African-American]] students who were in the [[Little Rock]] Central High School, [[Arkansas]] in 1957, following the Court decision in [[Brown v. Board of Education II]]. This started the Little Rock Crisis, in which the students were stopped from entering the [[Racial segregation|racially segregated]] school by Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus. They attended after President [[Eisenhower]] sent the [[United States Army]] to let them in. This is thought to be one of the most important events in the [[Civil Rights Movement]]. {{multistub|US|history}} [[Category:1957 in the United States]] [[Category:Discrimination]] [[Category:Little Rock, Arkansas]] [[Category:20th century in Arkansas]]
