Answer:

In 1957, he refused to comply with a unanimous decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in the 1954 case Brown v. Board of Education, and ordered the Arkansas National Guard to prevent black students from attending Little Rock Central High School. This event became known as the Little Rock Crisis.
