Little Rock Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, is a historically significant institution, most notably recognized for its role in the Civil Rights Movement. In 1957, it became the epicenter of a national crisis when nine African American students, known as the "Little Rock Nine," attempted to integrate the previously all-white school following the Supreme Court's Brown v. Board of Education decision. This event required intervention by federal troops to enforce integration, marking a pivotal moment in the struggle for racial equality in the United States.
