Arkansas would again make headlines after the [[Supreme Court]] case [[Brown v. Topeka Board of Education]] in 1957. Then Governor Oval Faubus sent the Arkansas National Guard to prevent [[African American]]s from entering Little Rock's Central High School. [[Dwight D. Eisenhower|President Eisenhower]] sent troops to help escort the students into the school.
