Respuesta :
The correct answer is D) Local authorities refusal to integrate Central High School.
This controversy was a result of the "Little Rock 9." This referred to a group of 9 African American students trying to attend a previously all white school. Thanks to the Brown vs. Board of Education decision, it was now the national law that segregated schools must be desegregated. However, when these students in Little Rock Arkansas tried to do this, they were stopped by the Arkansas guard. To combat this, Presiden Dwight D. Eisenhower sent in the US National Guard to ensure that this school was in fact desegregated and the Little Rock 9 were able to attend.
The correct option is (D). Local authorities’ refusal to integrate Central High School.
Further Explanation:
President Dwight D. Eisenhower was forced to take action when 9 African-American students were stopped from entering the ‘Central High School’ in Little Rock of Arkansas. In a ‘broadcast’ to the country on 24th September 1957, Eisenhower explained his decision to order ‘Federal troops’ to ‘Little Rock’ to ensure that all the student are allowed to get admission in the school, as granted by the Supreme Court of United States’ decision in “Brown V. Board of education”.
Brown v Board of Education was of the initial step taken by the U.S judiciary to stop discrimination in all areas of American society. The “Supreme Court” prominently ruled that ‘colored Americans’ had equal rights to education. At that the country was racially conscious, the Supreme Court’s decision was very significant in granting “rights to the African Americans” on a “level of equality” with other “white Americans”.
