Post 7 Clara
On September 24th, 1957 President Dwight Eisenhower ordered the National Guard to enforce racial integration of schools in Little Rock, Arkansas. This was a very important event in history. Racial integration was a very controversial subject and as the government forced it into action, it showed they were determined to make it happened. In all means this was a good event. By forcing the schools to integrate, the government showed their stance on the issue. It is bad in the means the schools could not decide to integrate on their own, but their stance was overrun by the federal government. This was very influential on the Nation, the city of Little Rock, and our very existence. This movement showed the governments stance on no longer allowing segregation making our nation more inclusive of people. The city of little rock was greatly effected in the time as all of their schools became interracial. In the terms of our existence, we are able to live in a nation where race means very little in comparison to the past. It was this event and many more like it that lead to this. I greatly appreciate this event. By the government forcing the integration of schools they were stepping towards a country of no segregation. Although we still face issues defined to be racial discrimination, with the force of school integration helped to make it not as bad.
