The Little Rock Nine were a group of African-American students who enrolled in Little Rock
Central High School in 1957. The ensuing Little Rock Crisis, in which
the students were initially prevented from entering the racially
segregated school by Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus, and then
attended after the intervention of President Dwight Eisenhower. These
nine young people walked through a gantlet of jeering whites shouting
venomous threats. This became an important event in the
African-American Civil Rights Movement.
Five decades later, fans swarmed them for autographs and pictures. News crews lobbed softball
questions. In front of a crowd of 5,000 people, dignitaries including former president Bill Clinton and
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, governors, congressmen and the mayor were on hand to laud their
bravery in desegregating the school.
