Background
[edit]Ernest G. Green was born in Little Rock, Arkansas, on September 22, 1941 to Lothaire S. and Ernest G. Green, Sr. His parents instilled in him confidence and selfrespect that helped him to become a leader among his peers and a civil rights advocate. He was one of the first black students to integrate at Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, following the Supreme Court ruling to desegregate in 1954. Green is the oldest of the "Little Rock Nine", a group of high school students who entered Central High school on the morning of September 25, 1957, with an escort of paratroopers. Governor Orval Faubus had summoned National Guardsmen to turn away the black pupils in direct defiance of the federal government, which had already approved a desegregation plan for the school. President Dwight D. Eisenhower, for the first time since Reconstruction, sent in ferderal troops to protect the rights of the beleaguered students, and the students ultimetely prevailed. Green graduated from Michigan State University with a B.A. in 1962 and an M.A. in 1964.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.54.197.105 (talk • contribs) 21:19, 26 October 2005
