Memorable Christmas kindness was a gift of light in a dark era
2005
Overview
[Orval Faubus] used National Guard troops to bar nine black youngsters from entering Little Rock Central High. Unruly white mobs, undeterred by local police, gathered outside the school screaming racial slurs and threatening the black children. The crisis grew daily more heated. The Klan burned crosses. Death threats were issued. Parents of some of the black youngsters were fired from their jobs. And Faubus warned that if Central High were integrated \"blood would run in the streets.\" The president responded that day, ordering to Little Rock 1,100 paratroopers from the 101st Airborne Division at Fort Campbell, Ky., a force Faubus denounced as \"an army of occupation.\"
