National Guard to prevent the African-American students' entry to Central Hisch, claiming
this action was for the students' own protection. In a televised address, Faubus said that
violence and bloodshed might break out if black students were allowed in. Federal judge

The Little Rock Nine arrived for the first day of school on September 4. Eight arrived together,
driven by Bates. Eckford's family, however, did not have a telephone, and Bates could not
reach her to let her know of the carpool plans, so Eckford arrived alone. One of the most

school as a crowd of hostile and screaming white students and adults surrounds her.
Eckford later recalled that one of the women spat on her. The photo of Eckford was printed
