The Little Rock Central High School is a national historic site and a major U.S. civil rights landmark. The site is still a working school. Nine students were the first black students admitted to the school in 1957 following a confrontation between Governor Orval Faubus, who used the state's National Guard to block desegregation, and President Eisenhower, who sent federal troops to enforce it.
