A Civil Rights Scrapbook: Little Rock

­May 24th, 1955: Little Rock School Board planned to gradually integrate the school...this was

called the “Blossom Plan” or the “Little Rock Phase

­Governor Oral Faubus and Arkansas National Guard blockaded the African American students

from entering Little Rock High School: September 4, 1955

­Due to the angry mobs that the group faced, the nine students tried to stay home for two weeks

and try to keep up with their schoolwork so they would not have to attend school and face the

angry mob

­Since the angry mobs and children attending the school were so unpredictable, the nine

students were escorted around the campus by soldiers that would assure their safety on school

grounds
