Question

why was eisen hower administrastion slow to enfor the brown decision ( the decsions of combinding black and white people in schools) and what caused him to finally take action!!!



please hellpp!!

Answer 1

Eisenhower was indeed slow to enforce Brown vs. The Topeka Board of Education decision. This had established that it was illegal for schools to practice segregation. But you have to remember that there was a large dispute over the federal and state government's rights and responsibilities for enforcing this. In 1954 states were much stronger compared to the federal government than they are today. The reason action was taken, was the Little Rock Crisis of 1957. Nine students were denied access to Little Rock High School and Eisenhower put the Arkansas National Guard under federal control to provide security for these students, causing a great deal of difficulty with Arkansas Governer Orval Faubus. It should be noted that Eisenhower was a proponent of civil rights, proposing and signing the Civil Rights Acts of 1957 and 1960.

Answer 2

I had the same question recently, I wrote this:

1. Eisnehower and his administration were slow for multiple reasons: one, Weissen (the security financial aid officer) was convicted of seven counts of larceny in the case. This resulted In Eisenhower getting sidetracked. He was also slowed because the Brown Decision had to have a 7/8 majority because it fell under The Nudane Chapter of Congress. He finally took the action because of his self professed interest in integration and his dreams and desires for what would come of the integration.

Hope that helps

Answer 3

President Eisenhpwer rea;ized that he got elected becuase of the southern vote. The south was very segregated and felt that blacks were still sub human. He wanted the south to enforce the law on its own. However, he had top send in the National Guard to enforce the Brown v,. Board of Ed., 1954 decision.

Answer 4

From everything I could find, Eisenhower was not thrilled by the decision but did nothing to hinder its implementation. See the website below and others with the same content through a Google search.

Answer 5

Actually, he sent out the National Guard to enforce it. The problem was, many other politicians disagreed with it. Senators, governors, many protested it vehemously. One governor blocked the doors of the school personally. Plus, he knew these students would walk into hell. They were treated horribly by white students who opposed it. When it started to get out of control, he sent the National Guard, because it was his duty to enforce the court's decision. However, he had to go against many people, fellow politicians, voters, etc. in order to do so.
