Step-by-step explanation:

Little Rock Nine, group of African American high-school students who challenged racial segregation in the public schools of Little Rock, Arkansas. Their names were Ernest Green, Minnijean Brown, Elizabeth Eckford, Thelma Mothershed, Melba Pattillo, Gloria Ray, Terrence Roberts, Jefferson Thomas, and Carlotta Walls.

In September 1958, one year after Central High was integrated, Governor Faubus closed all of Little Rock's high schools for the entire year

Eisenhower responded to the Governor Faubus' actions by placing the National Guard under federal command and sent soldiers to Arkansas to protect the nine students.
