Answer:

Little Rock nine were an important part of the fight for equality in education.

Step-by-step explanation:

The three things learnt about the "Little Rock Nine", the African American students, are:-

1. They fought for equal opportunity in education by enrolling themselves in the all-white central high school, after the Supreme had declared that it was unconstitutional to segregate public schools on the basis on color.

2. They continued to face physical and verbal attacks all during their studies in the school.

3. Later they were protected by the federal troops sent on orders by the President Dwight D. Eisenhower to protect them.
