Davis Senior High School
Daily Bulletin - Wednesday, September 25, 2013


THIS DAY IN HISTORY:

In 1957, under escort from the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division, nine black students, now known as the Little Rock Nine, entered all-white Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. Three weeks earlier, Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus had surrounded the school with National Guard troops to prevent its federal court-ordered racial integration. After a tense standoff, President Dwight D. Eisenhower federalized the Arkansas National Guard and sent 1,000 army paratroopers to Little Rock to enforce the court order.
