Crisis At Little Rock Central High
Governor Orval Faubus declared a state of emergency and called out National Guard troops to keep order.
The troops denied entry to the black students.
Faubus adhered to the doctrine of interposition:
a state may reject a federal mandate it considers to be an encroachment upon a state’s rights.
