In 1957, following a court order, nine black students attempt to register at Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. They are turned away at gunpoint by the National Guard, which has been called out by Arkansas governor Orval Faubus to prevent 'violence' by 'extremists' whom he claims are converging on Little Rock in 'caravans.' Asked his opinion on the matter, Senator Joseph McCarthy piously asserts that Governor Faubus 'has acted responsibly to maintain order.' | |
