Little Rock - 1957
When Gov. Orval Faubus pulled Arkansas National Guard members from blocking the nine students from entering the school, an inflamed crowd gathered to keep the black students out. Relman Morin, an Associated Press reporter standing outside the school at the time, described the chaos as a "human explosion" when the nine students were slipped inside during a melee. Eisenhower was shocked at the outbreak of violence.
