Governor Orval Faubus ordered the National Guard to block them. The students were ultimately admitted. However, they were abused and harassed throughout the year.

One of the girls was suspended, and later expelled, for having the audacity to defend herself against the attacks.</p><p>Here is footage of the Civil Rights movement, accompanied by Charles Mingus’s “Fables of Faubus.”</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QT2-iobVcdw" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=QT2-iobVcd</span><span class="invisible">w</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WorkingClass" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>WorkingClass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Mingus" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Mingus</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CivilRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CivilRights</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/arkansas" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>arkansas</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/students" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>students</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/school" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>school</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/integration" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>integration</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JimCrow" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>JimCrow</span></a></p>
