1957? What happened then? A little before my comprehension time.

Integration of Little Rock school. National Guard first called out to oppose integration, but was then federalized by Ike to get them out of the way. Then Ike sent the 101st Airborne in to enforce the law and integrate the school.

WOW! The good old days when government inforced the law!!!

An older officer said this would not have happened 20 years ago. Later, another said it would not have happened 10 years ago. So, the commies won their "rights" by suing the city/force. Now the law enforcement agencies will not act in order to avoid a lawsuit.

Pretty nifty, huh? They have taken control of the country, one lawsuit at a time and the sheeple continue to sleep!!!

i'm old enough to REMEMBER the integration of Little Rock Central HS (and i knew Daisy Bates!!!).

there was a HUGE DIFFERENCE in the two incidents.

at Little Rock, the ARNG & the 101st were WELCOMED by most everyone in town & were constantly HONORED for their service by even the most extreme of the "demonstrators" & "counter-demonstrators". (after all, southerners are pretty patriotic as a group, UNLIKE the LEFTIST/HATE-filled, "internationalist",FILTH that attacked the recruiting station.)
