Little Rock Nine
I think that the little rock nine was a good event because it was the first time public places were desegregated which means that people could use the same restroom, seats, and go to public places. It was the first time since the slaves were freed that the laws were actually being enforced. The little rock nine were the first African Americans to go to an all white public school. The situation was so dangerous the president assigned the military to drive them to school and lead them inside. They did that because the students did not want them their because of their skin color. They were very hostile and that is why the army personell were their.
