During the effort to desegregate schools in Little Rock, Arkansas, President Eisenhower federalized the Arkansas National Guard, placing it under the command of federal authority to ensure the protection of African American students attempting to attend Little Rock Central High School. This action was taken after the state governor had previously used the National Guard to prevent the students from entering the school. Eisenhower's intervention marked a significant federal response to civil rights issues and the enforcement of desegregation. Ultimately, he sent federal troops to maintain order and protect the students, demonstrating the federal government's commitment to upholding civil rights.

President Eisenhower did not agree with the decision of the Supreme Court in Brown vs Board of Education that educational institutions in the South were unequal and segregation hurt students who did not get an "equal" education. He felt the decision was a mistake. But, as President he was sworn to uphold the law and enforce the law. Eisenhower was a constitutionalist and to him, the Court's ruling had the force of law. Governor Faubus of Arkansas was defying the Court's order so Eisenhower took over command of the National Guard and ordered troops to enforce the integration of Central High School.
