The Little Rock Nine

Nine black students, escorted by federal troops, prepared to enter central high school. They would come to be known as the little rock nine. As pressure mounted to carry out the court's order, a mob formed outside the high school. President eisenhauer decided had to step in. The responsibility and authority of the supreme court to interpret the constitution are very clear. Mob rule can not be allowed to override the decisions of our court. Thatis tru esident.
