Answer 1

After Brown vs the Board of Education, which ruled that segregation of public schools was unconstitutional, the NAACP immediately set to enrolling black students into what had previously been all-white schools. Most schools and districts complied with the law, and Little Rock Central High was no exception. Plans were made and nine black students were accepted, scheduled to begin class three years later.

Then as now, some citizens decided that the decisions of a few judges in Washington was not reflective of either their wishes or the greater interests of America. These so-called citizens' councils swore to show up on the first day of class and prevent the students from entering. And in a surprise move Governor Orval Faubus called out the National Guard, not to PREVENT disorder and enforce the law, but to ASSIST the segregationists in their activities. A line of soldiers was formed in front of the school and the 'Little Rock Nine' as they began to be called were prevented from entering on September 4, 1957.

As the news spread, more and more people were pulled into the standoff. On September 14, President Eisenhower nicely asked Governor Faubus (in person) to stand down. The Governor refused. Ultimately a court order was obtained requiring the Governor to comply, and he finally did withdraw the National Guard on September 20.

Though it was a step, it didn't come close to resolving the crisis. Hundreds of citizens camped outside the school, only barely held at bay by local police officers. On September 23, the students were snuck into the school by officials, but when word leaked out they had to be quickly whisked away again. On the 24th, the Mayor Woodrow Mann of Little Rock asked the President again for help. The President eagerly complied.

Starting on September 25, 1957 and every day thereafter for the remainder of the school year, the 101st Airborne Division of the U.S. Army was present at the school to maintain order with overwhelming force. The paratroopers escorted the students to and from school, and prevented any other major incidents.

Even THIS wasn't the end of the issue, though. Rather than continue integration, Governor Faubus and the Arkansas legislature simply shut down three of its high schools, sending all the students (and problems) elsewhere. Out of city, mostly. It wasn't until autumn of 1959 that all the Little Rock schools were finally re-opened and de-segregated.

I believe that most of the Little Rock Nine are still alive today. If you fish around, you might even come up with some first-hand accounts of the event.

Answer 3

He is most likely attempting to make use of factors of rock song. Does it sound well. No! What is worse is that he's a gigantic artist and the combination is terrible. Once the bass kicks in it drowns out the guitar. Trying? Yes.
