Worldwide attention was focused on Little Rock in September 1957, when nine black students unsuccessfully attempted to enroll in the city’s Central High School. Until that time only white students had attended the school, despite a federal order that barred continued segregation. When the black students were refused entry into the school, sporadic rioting broke out, and as tension mounted, President Dwight D. Eisenhower sent federal troops into the city to preserve order. Under their protection, the black students completed the school year. The next year the school board closed the city’s high schools, but when they reopened in September, 1959, some black students were admitted, and in the 1960s integration was gradually achieved. During the 1960s and 1970s the city enjoyed considerable growth and urban renewal, due in part to a federal navigation project on the Arkansas River that made Little Rock an important regional port. Population has increased steadily since the 1960s. From the 1980s until the early 1990s, Bill Clinton, then governor of Arkansas, lived in Little Rock; in 1993 he became the 42nd president of the United States.
