In the 1950s when Arkansas governor Orville Faunus sought to prevent integration of Little Rock schools, Eisenhower federalized the national guard and enforced the law. The children walked into the school between lines of armed troops.
FYI, I’m old enough to remember that incident VERY WELL INDEED.
(Our family at that time lived within 60 miles of the Arkansas/Texas border & we were PROUD of the National Guard troops.)
I also remember a “little tiny Black girlchild” (I suspect that she was in the First or second Grade then.) walking between some 4-5 LARGE, MUSCULAR, Deputy US Marshals, so that she could attend public school.
