- Why were the events in Little Rock important?
- Showed the word that the president was going to enforce the supreme courts judgements
- He supported the cause
- It was another win for civil rights
- Motivated campaigners
- Showed that the new laws would be enforced
- Despite this the progress towards desegregation was still slow
- By 1961 there were still no black children in white schools in numerous states
- Progress towards desegragation after Little rock was EXTREMELY slow
- Made civil rights campaigners question whether indirect action was working
- Because of how slow progress was being made
- Showed the word that the president was going to enforce the supreme courts judgements
