Explanation

The federal government supported desegregation through executive actions and court rulings. For example, President Eisenhower used the National Guard to enforce the integration of Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, and the Supreme Court ruled in Brown v. Board of Education that school segregation was unconstitutional. The courts did not declare integration unconstitutional, and the legislature did not organize boycotts.
