Today in History: September 25, Military escorts Little Rock Nine into Central High
In 1957, nine Black students enrolled at Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, which had been an all-white school. The state resisted desegregation, so the federal government sent military escorts to bring the students into the school. This event, known as the Little Rock Nine, became a major moment in the civil rights movement and the effort to integrate American schools.
