Question 14 • GA-American Literature and Composition CR_Seniors

Which issue is Jackie Robinson addressing in his letter to President Eisenhower?

Answer
A
Governor Faubus’s prevention of nine Black youths from entering an integrated high school
B
the actions of pro-segregation leaders such as Governor Faubus of Arkansas
C
President Eisenhower’s sluggish response to the civil rights movement
D
the significant events of the Summit Meeting of Negro Leaders from the previous day

Explanation

Jackie Robinson’s letter criticized President Eisenhower for not responding forcefully or quickly enough to the struggle for civil rights. The letter came amid the crisis over school desegregation in Little Rock, but its central issue was the president’s sluggish response, not simply Governor Faubus’s actions or the events of the leaders’ summit.
