  6. Federal troops escorted nine brave Black students into Little Rock Central High School, enforcing desegregation.

    🎓 A Sonnet for Integration:

    They walked through walls of spit and shouted hate,
    Their books held tight like shields against the storm.
    Though fear and rage stood guard at every gate,
    They carved a path to make the future form...
