Answer:

On May 2, 1963, more than one thousand students skipped classes and gathered at Sixth Street Baptist Church to march to downtown Birmingham, Alabama. As they approached police lines, hundreds were arrested and carried off to jail in paddy wagons and school buses.

Explanation:

They wanted people to picket segregated stores by carrying signs. They wanted them to march to City Hall, demanding integration. King himself marched and went to jail to show them he wasn't afraid, but only about 150 people volunteered to protest. Many feared the police or worried about losing their jobs

Protests in Birmingham began with a boycott led by Shuttlesworth meant to pressure business leaders to open employment to people of all races, and end segregation in public facilities, restaurants, schools, and stores. When local business and governmental leaders resisted the boycott, SCLC agreed to assist.

Why was Birmingham so important? It was a KKK stronghold and King described it as America's worst city for racism. City businessmen actually believed that racism held back the city but their voices were usually quiet.

What did President Eisenhower do to help the "Little Rock 9" and how long did his intervention take from the original time they
ladessa [460]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

What President Eisenhower did to help the "Little Rock 9" was to issue executive order 10730 and the troops from the National Guard on September 23, 1957.

President Eisenhower quickly responded to the petition of Woodrow Wilson Martin, who was the Major of Little Rock. The major demanded protection for the black students and support integration in Little Rock Central Highschool. The President sent the 101st Airborne Division to protect the integrity of black students. Unfortunately, these students suffered different aggressions from white students.

Let's have in mind the nature and complexity of the problem. At the beginning of the fall semester in 1957, Orval Faubus, who was the governor of Arkansas, ordered the National Guard of Arkansas to prevent the black students to enter the premises of the school.
