This Day in History
1957: President Dwight D. Eisenhower sends United States National Guard troops to Little Rock, Arkansas to enforce the rulings of the federal court system, which banned school segregation. When the segregationist forces led by Orville Faubus would attempt to close the Little Rock school system to maintain racial segregation, Harry Ehrenberg, Sr., a leading member of the Jewish community, would seek signatures for petitions to keep the schools open. Ehrenberg, Jr. has carried on the family tradition of active participation in the Jewish community and supporting the causes of “the widow, the orphan and the stranger in your midst.”
