5. President Eisenhower had convinced Governor Faubus that the state could resist federal authority. He also felt that Arkansas could not be allowed to overrule the decision of the court.
6. The Supremacy Clause was came into play when Faubus did not allow segregation and Eisenhower said it was unconstitutional and federal law took precedence over state law. This allowed each student to have a National Guard escort each student to their classes.
7. Minnie Jean had taken her chili and dumped it on a white students head.
8. Governor Faubus removed the National Guard, and only left only the city police. The following year he closed down all high schools to halt integration.
9. The decisions that the Little Rock made to go into Central High School has made it possible for all people of a different ethnicity to have an equal opportunity to receive an education. This video has really upset me, because I felt that state officials didn’t want to segregate schools to get the vote of the people. I’m glad those 9 students have left an impact on history. I am grateful to them for making it possible for me.
1. The governor was against any integration of black and white students. He wanted schools to stay either all white or all black.

5. The president was not effective because at first he couldnt even convince the governor to allowed desegreation of that high school.
6. The supremacy clause showed that the federal government has the final say in all matters. This can be seen when each child was given a guard.
7. Minnie poured her lunch on another student that was making fun of her.
8. The governors final solution was to get rid of the national guard and to bring in only state police.
9. I think that those 9 students were very brave and have greatly impacted history. Without their actions it could have taken much longer to desegreate schools.
-Frank Puz-

6. Federal govenment gave each black student a guard.

8. The Governors final solution was to rid the National Guard and only have State Police.
9. I believe that the Little Rock 9 were extremely brave and put a major mark in our history. Without this group of children desegregation may not have been able to be achieved for years to come. They stood not only for equal education for black children, but all ethnic groups.

1. How did Governor Faubus respond to integrating the City's schools?
ReplyDeleteHe ordered that the state had the right to keep segregation and that the state of Arkansas would not follow by the new federal law.
2. What role did the Arkansas National Guard play initially?
The National Guard was sent to Central High School by Governor Faubus to deny the black students to integrate in the school.
3. Who were the Little Rock 9?
They were a group of nine high school students who was selected to attend Central High School under the new federal law, signed by President Eisenhower. They were initially kept out of the school by the Arkansas National Guard, but President Eisenhower sent in federal troop to protect and integrate the nine students.

On the first day of School she was broken off from the group and had to walk alone. There was an angry mob that harassed her as she walked to the school building only to be turned away by the National Guard.
5. How effective was President Eisenhower in this national crisis?
President Eisenhower’s plan to use federal troops worked for a while until some states began to oppose the federal law again. They began to use other tactics like closing the school completely.

The states tried to say that there laws to keep segregation were valid when in fact the federal law that was passed has precedence over all the previous states laws.
7. What did Minnie Jean do that was so unexpected?

8. What was Governor Faubus' final solution to stop integration In Little Rock?

9. Your personal thoughts on this dramatic historical event
I think that the integration a school enforced by the federal government was a very big push to help combat the racial tensions of this time. I believe that if this law wasn't past at a federal level that today some states still might not conform to integrating city schools.
-Brian Randazzo-
1. Governor Faubus decided to keep school segregated.
ReplyDelete2. The National Guard kept the "peace" and denied black students into the white schools.

5. President Eisenhower was somewhat effective in the crisis by using troops at first but when that had conflict he the went to other forms of "policing" like closing the schools all together.
6. The Supremacy Clause played a part in this because any federal law has precedence over all previous state laws.
7. Minnie Jean dumped her hot chili all over a student who was harassing her at lunch time which resulted in expulsion.
8. Governor Faubus finally removed the National Guard to replace them by police officers who stopped children from entering.
9. I personally believe that if those nine students had not earned the grades that they did, some if not most schools would still be segregated. I congratulate those nine students for breaking the barrier of segregated schools.

8. Governor Faubus closed down all the high schools in Little Rock so they didn't have to intergrate.
9. I feel the goveror was acting as childish as the the students parents was. I think for the most part the kids would have got use to it and never thought no more about it. Kids don't know to hate unless they are taught to by their parents. I feel very sorry for the black community and all they had to endure because of their color. I thank God that things are better than they use to be. I know there is still racism but I feel it is better than it was.

1. Govenor Faubus was furious at this Court decision; a fierce advocate of state rights, he even went so far as to personally block the entrance of an Arkansas school.
ReplyDelete2. They aligned themselves with the whites and intially only allowed whites entrance.
3. The Little Rock Nine were a group of 9 black students whose high grades enabled them to attend litte Rock, if they so chose.
4. She was seperated from the main group, and had to face the jeering mob without any support.
5. Eisenhower provided federal troops to enforce integration policies; but his effectiveness was greatly diminshed when states began to circumvent this in a variety of ways, even closing schools rather than allow blacks entrance.
6.The supermacy clause of the constitution states that when federal and state law clash, federal law overrules; therefore the states were legally required to integrate.
7. While in line for lunch, she was repetdely harassed by a white student; she retalated by emptying the contents of her bowl on the students head.
8.He removed the National Guard and opted instead for state and local law enforcement officers to blockade the schools.
9.This tragic event really highlights the irrationality and hatred that racism spawns; but at the same time, illustrates how far we have come in race relations since that time.
