Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The Little Rock Nine were nine black students that were enrolled and attended an all white school, Central High, in Little Rock, Arkansas. It was so controversial at the time that the national guard was called to block the black students from going into the school. They were eventually escorted into school by federal troops sent by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. It was significant because it drew national attention to segregation in schools, and was one of the prime instigations for the civil rights movement.
