There are so many achievements that the Roman empire can boast, one of which is none other than achitecture. You may not notice it, but if you look closely you'll see that most of the government's structures and or bank's structures have Greco-Roman touch about them.
And definitely you will notice that there are many Christians here and there - that's brought to you by the Roman empire who grew so big that when emperor Constatine decided to legalize Christianity, the religion spread like wild fire in the old world! This development still affects us up to now. Where is the pope's seat of power? Is it not in the Vatican, the heart of Rome?
President Eisenhower exercised his federal authority in an effort to desegregate schools after the Brown vs. Board of Education ruling. This famous Supreme Court case stated that the idea of "separate but equal" is inherently unequal. Despite the ruling, several different southern states refused to follow the new ruling. This included the state of Arkansas.
The governor of Arkansas used the Arkansas National Guard to stop nine black students from attending Central High School after the Brown vs. Board ruling. Eisenhower than used his presidential authority to send in the 101st Airborne Division of the US military to ensure that these nine students were able to attend Central High School.
