The events that transpired at Central High School for the 1957-1958 school year would have an immediate impact on society. When news got out that a handful of African-American students were being allowed to attend Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas the whites rioted and formed mobs outside of the school. This caused the students to not be able to enroll for several weeks. After weeks passed and the students finally could enroll they were still harassed physically and mentally. Minnijean Brown could not withstand the abuse and poured a bowl of chili over a white students head, thus getting himself expelled (Penrice). Another student, Ernest Green, would become the only student of the nine to graduate from Central High School. This would be because Governor Faubus would close down all public schools the following year. This would impact the state of Arkansas for a whole year due to the fact that there were no more public schools in the state. It became harder for the lesser privileged African-American children to attend school and get education for a year. The plan that Faubus used was also adopted in counties in Virginia (School Desegregation). But a year after the closing the federal courts had reopened them. MAN, WHAT A BUNCH OF JERKS!
If it were not for the Little Rock Nine many other states and schools would have been more timid about beginning the desegregation process. The states began to comply with the desegregation guidelines in 1959, the year Faubus' closing of public schools was overturned. But it was not until 1963 that the desegregation numbers were at 9.2% (School Desegregation). Desegregation was happening but at a slow pace. Leading to the 1970s busing became a popular form of desegregation attempts. Busing was driving students, black or white, to other schools to meet desegregation guidelines (School Desegregation). This itself caused an uproar and was in need of it's own guidelines, although these guidelines were eventually overturned by another court case about busing students to out of district schools. Soon school districts were still developing ideas to avoid integration with transfer student plans and magnet schools. Segregation was so rooted in society it was taking a long time to get rid of but was still vital to this day.
More recently a study was shown that the idea of busing was harmful to students education (School Desegregation). This study was conducted in 1992 by Dr. Robert Lissitz. This study was conducted because school boards were stil trying to enforce busing as a factor to integrate schools more. Desegregation would be an uphill battle still to this day because schools are placed in areas and depending on the demographics of the area could be a desegregated school but have mainly African-American students. Desegregation needs to be combined with better teachers to be fully effective. Desegregation was just a part of the Civil Rights Movement. The Little Rock Nine was just a part of desegregation but one of the biggest steps to desegregation and then a big step in the Civil Rights Movement that shaped the US today.
