The Little Rock Nine event refers to the historic day on September 25, 1957, when nine African American students attempted to desegregate a previously all-white high school in Little Rock, Arkansas. Despite the Supreme Court's ruling in Brown v. Board of Education, the students were met with violent protests from white mobs and faced physical harassment as they attempted to enter the school. The event marked a pivotal moment in the Civil Rights Movement, highlighting the ongoing struggle for racial equality in the United States. (history.com)
