Answer:
The event during the Civil Rights Movement that is most closely associated with President Dwight Eisenhower is the Little Rock Crisis of 1957.
Step-by-step explanation:
The crisis developed around the Little Rock Nine, a group of African-American students who on September 4, 1957 went to class at Little Rock Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, and were detained by the National Guard. This episode is considered one of the most important events of the Civil Rights Movement in the United States. The United States was a nation segregated between an educational system for whites and another for African-Americans. In 1954, the Supreme Court of the United States ruling in Brown vs. Board of Education unanimously declared that segregation in public schools was unconstitutional.
The Little Rock crisis, followed closely by the press, showed how the nine black students who decided to attend classes were initially prevented from entering school by order of the Arkansas governor, Orval Faubus. Later they were followed by crowds under threats of lynching. They were finally able to attend after the intervention of President Eisenhower, who sent Division 101 to protect them and restore order, putting the Arkansas National Guard under federal military command.
