OrvalFaubus'Reaction

Document 1 - The courts rule "separate but equal" to be unlawful and order the integration school. A black student waits at the bus stop and she is gawked at on her way to a previously all white school. Document 2 - Arkansas was unwilling to integrate the schools and generally disregarded the court order. Eisenhower countered this insubordination by sending in the National Guard to facilitate the integration. Document 3 - Eisenhower attempts to coerce Faubus into accepting the court orders. He was responding to a telegram from Faubus which asked for his reconsideration. Eisenhower made no promises, but settled that he would uphold the Constitution.
