Little Rock Crisis

Little Rock Crisis describes the tension that followed the enrolment of nine African American students in Little Rock Central High School in 1957. Initially, the students were prevented from entering the racially segregated school by Orval Faubus, the Governor of Arkansas. An intervention by President Dwight D. Eisenhower was necessary in order for them to attend.

so you can understand and comprehend the meaning or the reasoning of the statement or the message

explanation:

based on the biblical principle proverbs 16: 32, i agree with the author of the passage "better is it that it takes longer to be angry than the strong " to the extent that i share the philosophy that the nobility of heart demonstrates the strength of a person. those who are very proud, get angry easily and show their anger toward others are really weak, but those who are noble and do not constantly obfuscate or contain their feelings of anger, are strong people
