      The article focuses on Arkansas Governor Orval Eugene Faubus as he was not able to effectively deal with the crisis on the desegregation of schools in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1957. It states that Faubus did not follow a court order and the recommendations of U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower with regards to the issue of promoting desegregation. It also says that the actions of the Governor had triggered negative reactions from Arkansas businessmen and the clergy.
