The state refused to provide security or help enforce the federal court's order.
The Republicans don't always get the credit they deserve when it comes to civil rights. Civil rights activist Andrew Young wrote in his autobiography An Easy Burden that "The southern segregationists were all Democrats, and it was black Republicans... who could effectively influence the appointment of federal judges in the South." Mr. Young admitted that the best civil rights judges were Republicans appointed by President Dwight Eisenhower, and were "among the many unsung heroes of the civil rights movement."
Another implied myth is that Republicans unilaterally voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The truth is that, without the Republicans' efforts, no such bill would have been passed. Congressional Quarterly reported that, in the House, 61% of Democrats (152 to 96) voted for the Act as opposed to 80% of Republicans (138 to 34). In the Senate, 69% of Democrats (46 to 27) voted for passage along with 82% of Republicans (27 to 6).

To enforce the new reality of school segregation as a result of the brown vs board of education decision in the supreme court. There had been many death threats to the children and this was backed up by many angry white mobs. This has all been filmed and documented much to the shame of our country. I hope we could some day move beyond race but some people just won't let it go.
