Little rock protest was a success and a failure. I personally think that it was more of a failure then a success. This is because the little nine went through a lot of physical and verbal abuse, crowds of white people at different ages would gather to throw stones, hit round the head with rolled up newspapers and shout inappropriate words to the nine students, this was because they were black and the white popularity did not want schools to be desegregated. One of the biggest reasons that it was a failure was because the nine did not graduate; this is bad because although it provides a lot of media attention it means that the nine will get poor jobs as their qualifications are at a poor standard. Faubus who was the 36th governor of Arkansas tried to stand up against the desegregation of the little rock school this was a failure for little rock and a success. It was a success as it brought a lot of media attention to the little rock situation, but it was also a failure as it meant the governor was on the white side and it meant that the nine would not be allowed into the school, but president Eisenhower cowardly sent in the us army to stop the national guard and to let the nine into school.
The little rock protest was also a success as it led to more desegregation of schools across the Deep South, this was good as the black popularity would not have to travel far to go to school. One of the main reasons little rock protest was that it received a lot of media attention and would therefore have more protests for the future e.g. the bus boycott. Eisenhower escorted the nine to the school that was good because it showed the nine were getting some support and gave more media attention.
