Little Rock Central High School was the site of a 1957 federal intervention that changed the nation. When nine African-American students — the 'Little Rock Nine' — attempted to integrate the all-white school, Governor Orval Faubus called the National Guard to prevent them. President Eisenhower responded by sending the 101st Airborne Division to escort the students. The event is now a National Historic Site.
