Executive Order 10730 (1957) involved sending federal troops to maintain order during the integration of which school?

• A. Desegregation of Montgomery County Schools
• B. The integration of Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas
• C. The space program expansion
• D. The Brown v Board decision

Answer: (B)

This question tests how the federal government used military power to enforce school desegregation after Brown v. Board. Executive Order 10730 was issued to ensure the integration of Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, by sending federal troops to protect the nine Black students as they entered the school and to maintain order amid local resistance. The scene was the Little Rock Crisis of 1957, when Governor Faubus had blocked entry with the state National Guard, and President Eisenhower federalized those troops and dispatched the 101st Airborne to escort the students and uphold the court-ordered desegregation. So, the event involved is the integration of Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. The other options don’t fit because they refer to different actions or contexts ( Montgomery County desegregation and the Brown v. Board decision establish the law, but the specific use of federal troops to enforce a desegregation deadline at a particular school happened in Little Rock).
