In Conclusion, The Little Rock 9 were able to get into to the school and get their education. Many people were still mad so the students had to be careful when they didn't have an escort. On May 25, 1958, Green, the only senior among the Little Rock Nine, became the first African-American graduate of Central High.

Th Little Rock Nine decided to attend Central High after the Brown v. BOE after The Supreme Court ruled unanimously that separate educational facilities are inherently unequal. As president of the Montgomery Improvement Association, Martin Luther King wrote President Dwight D. Eisenhower requesting a swift resolution allowing the students to attend school.
Orval Eugene Faubus (January 7, 1910 – December 14, 1994)wa s the 36th Governor of Arkansas, serving from 1955 to 1967.Faubus began as a defender of "white supremacy". Faubus had used the armed forces of a state to oppose the federal government. Due to this we can say that he ignored the unanimous ruling in the Brown v. BOE case.
On 4 September 1957, the first day of school at Central High, a white mob gathered in front of the school, and Governor Orval Faubus deployed the Arkansas National Guard to prevent the black students from entering. The mob was brutal. They threw bricks, kicked shoved, and yelled insults at the students.
In response to Faubus’ action, a team of NAACP lawyers, including Thurgood Marshall, won a federal district court injunction to prevent the governor from blocking the students’ entry. The violence convinced Eisenhower that he had to act. U.S. Army troops were sent to Little Rock. A conference between Eisenhower and Faubus proved fruitless, Faubus left the school to the mob.
These are the pros and cons of the Little Rock Nine getting into Central High.
-These students will get the education the education the education they require and want.
-improvement of rights (a step closer)
-a sign of equality
-some whites will be mad
-whites may retalliate
-mobs were formed
-2 African Americans were abused.
