Specifically, On September 23, 1957, President Eisenhower issued Executive Order 10730, federalizing the Arkansas National Guard. and ordering U.S. army troops, the 101st Airborne Division to Little Rock, Arkansas. This action broke the blockade by Democrat Governor Orville Faubus allowing the Little Rock Nine to desegregate Central High School. (15:55–16:04)
