Document Summary
In little rock, there was a white mob that tried to stop the government from abolishing central high. The white mob wanted to keep the white only high school and didn"t agree with the legislation that allowed blacks to enter into the high school. In general, the mob in little rock started because the mob blocked the entrances of the school. Even the governor supported the decision of the mob. That"s why president eisenhower had to send the national guard and other soldiers to enforce the court orders. After taking action, the federal government was able to make the order that allowed african americans to enter central high school: montgomery. Montgomery bus boycott was a way people used for going against segregated buses. The boycott consisted of black women who used cars transportation or walked to get to work. Montgomery workers and it hurt the bus business because many of the customers were the black women.
