Explanation

In 1957, Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus used the National Guard to prevent Black students from entering Central High School. President Eisenhower then sent federal troops to Little Rock to enforce the students’ right to attend and protect them. So the integration finally occurred when federal troops intervened; white citizens had not simply dropped their protests.
