WELCOME TO ARKANSAS
My U.S. states series of A I generated images.
Little Rock Central High School was forcibly integrated starting on September 25, 1957, when nine African American students, known as the Little Rock Nine, entered the school under escort by federal troops after Governor Orval Faubus had used the state's National Guard to block them. President Dwight D. Eisenhower federalized the Arkansas National Guard and sent the 101st Airborne Division to ensure the students' safety and enforce the Supreme Court's ruling against segregation. Just in my lifetime has it been possible for blacks to attend integrated schools in Arkansas. Racism still exists, but has simply found more subtle ways of imposing itself.
