Eisenhower OKs partial troop withdrawal from Little Rock
President Eisenhower approved pulling back half of the federal troops at Little Rock to enforce school integration, with Brucker ordering the immediate withdrawal of 500 of 1,000 troopers. He also freed 8,500 of about 10,000 Arkansas National Guardsmen federalized earlier. Public reaction was muted as Faubus and local leaders offered little comment while NAACP officials downplayed the change. Eisenhower used an impromptu White House speech to urge Americans to erase prejudice.
