Little Rock Nine - 3 years after Brown versus Board of Education

On September 24, 1957, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed Executive Order 10730. The order federalized the Arkansas National Guard and ordered the Secretary of Defense to employ the Arkansas soldiers. President Eisenhower sent the 101st Airbourne Division to uphold the Supreme Court Decision of 1954 'Brown versus the Board of Education'and made sure that Ernest Green -- featured in video above -- part of the Little Rock Nine, made it to school Safely.


Minnie Jean Brown, one of the original Little Rock Nine who was subjected to the racism of the first integrated school, returns to Central High and can barely speak about the hatred she faced while attempting to simply go to school.


A day in the life of the Little Rock Nine.
