On May 17, 1954, in Brown V

On May 17, 1954, in Brown v. Board of Education, the Supreme Court ruled that laws mandating racially segregated public school systems were unconstitutional. The Supreme Court later argued that federal courts should take steps to bring about the integration of segregated school systems "with all deliberate speed." In 1957, Governor Orval Faubus of Arkansas called on the National Guard to turn away nine African American students as they attempted to enter Central High School in Little Rock. President Eisenhower, who did not support the Brown decision, called out federal troops to protect the rights of the African American students to attend the school. The events described in the passage suggest that early attempts at school integration:

A) led to a power struggle between state governments and the federal government
B) were opposed by many in the South but were widely popular in other parts of the country
C) proceeded without incident after the Little Rock standoff
D) were supported by elected officials but opposed by the courts
