	Orval Faubus information - Search.com
		Orval Eugene Faubus (7 January 1910–14 December 1994) was a six-term Democratic Governor of Arkansas, infamous for his 1957 stand against integration of Little Rock, Arkansas schools in defiance of U.S. Supreme Court rulings.
		Faubus at first denied attending, then admitted enrolling "for only a few weeks." Later, however, it was disclosed that he had remained at the school for more than a year, during which he was elected president of the student body.
		Faubus was elected governor six times and served for 12 years, maintaining his defiant, populist image while at the same time shifting toward a less confrontational stance with the federal government, particularly during the administrations of Presidents Kennedy and Johnson, with each of whom he remained cordial.

	Faubus
		Orval Eugene Faubus was born in a rented log cabin on the slope of Stanley Mountain a few hundred yards above Ritchie Branch in Madison County, Arkansas.
		Orval's ancestors the Thornberrys and Salyers were settled in Madison County before the Civil War--some perhaps as early as 1840--after the savage edge of the frontier had been dulled a little.
		Sam Faubus was destined to enter history as the father of a famous man. If history had been more logical, a little less given to luck and caprice, it might well have come about that the first Faubus to be governor of a state would have been not Orval but his father.

		Orval Faubus' futile defiance of the federal government during the 1957 Little Rock Central High integration crisis shamed his native state before the nation and the world.
		Reed's evocation of Faubus' backwoods hillbilly childhood--his perilous log cabin birth, the rows of tiny infant graves in the cemetery at Combs where his people are buried, the omnipresence of death and disease in an area that resembled a Third World country at least up to World War II--rings with eloquent authenticity.
		Orval Faubus weighed two-and-a-half pounds at birth; his mother later told people he could have fit into a quart jar with the lid screwed down.

	Orval Faubus
		Faubus later told a journalist working for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette that "it is true in politics as it is in life that survival is the first law.".
		Fearing he would lose office Faubus decided to fight the decision by the Supreme Court in 1954 that separate schools were not equal and were therefore unconstitutional.
		Faubus' alleged reason for calling out the troops was that he had received information that caravans of automobiles filled with white supremacists were heading toward Little Rock from all over the state.

	A Pact With the Devil
		Although Faubus was born into abject poverty and never went beyond the eighth grade in school, he was hardly the ignorant and racist hillbilly the national news magazines of the 1950's made him out to be.
		Faubus wrapped himself in his wartime combat record and complained of ''McCarthy tactics,'' blithely insisting he had spent only a few days on the campus before leaving when he found out that it was ''trying to indoctrinate young people with Marxism.''
		After 40 years of watching Faubus, of struggling to unravel his subject's ''mixture of cynicism and compassion, of guile and grace, of wickedness and goodness,'' his biographer cannot even say whether he was good or evil.

		Race was not a live issue in Arkansas when Faubus launched a populist campaign that enabled him to unseat Governor Francis Cherry, a conventional conservative who had the support of the moneyed interests that normally dominated the one-party political process.
		His father, Sam Faubus, was a holdover from the radical movement that late in the last century pitted small farmers against the interests that controlled the state's economy.
		But Orval did not have the depth of conviction that would have allowed him to withstand mounting pressure from the leaders of the White Citizens Councils that sprang up across the South to protest the U.S. Supreme Court's 1954 Brown decision mandating desegregation of the public schools.

	Orval Faubus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		When Faubus returned from the war he cultivated ties with leaders of Arkansas' Democratic Party, particularly with progressive reform Governor Sid McMath, leader of the post-war "GI Revolt" against corruption, whom he served as director of the state's highway commission.
		Faubus' name became internationally known during the Little Rock Crisis of 1957, when he used the National Guard to stop African Americans from attending Little Rock Central High School as part of federally ordered racial desegregation.
		The stand may seem surprising considering Faubus' 1954 run for governor as a liberal promising to increase spending on schools and roads.

	Eisenhower versus Faubus in the 1957 Integration Crisis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Reed explained that Faubus had been "a racial moderate, ironically, perhaps more so than Eisenhower." Faubus "acted rashly out of political opportunism" in deploying the state national guard outside Central High School to prevent fl students from entering because he was fearful of losing the segregationist vote and thus the next election, Reed remarked.
		Faubus "knew that Eisenhower was on firm, constitutional ground and that this was a struggle he could not win," said Reed.
		The most important aspect of the 1957 crisis, however, both Reed and Bumpers agreed, is not the clash between two men -- Governor Orval Faubus and President Dwight Eisenhower -- but the fact that the law of the land, as interpreted by the courts, ultimately prevailed and was enforced.

		Faubus was certainly not the only southerner who vociferously opposed integration--George Wallace of Alabama and Lestor Maddox of Georgia (among others) also jumped on the bandwagon--but what's unusual about Faubus is that he started out as a racial liberal.
		How Orval Faubus, a one-time racial liberal, could have invoked the race card in 1957 and continued to play it for another decade is but one of many intriguing questions Reed attempts to answer.
		Faubus was born in poverty and named Orval Eugene, with the Eugene being in honor of Eugene Debs, prominent Socialist leader admired by Orval's father.

		Faubus talked about how the fl carpetbaggers who came to Arkansas after the Civil War had ruined life for white people everywhere, and set us back hundreds of years.
		Faubus knew that the only way he could stay in power was to remind the white people of how weak and powerless they were, and how much they needed his philosophy to get themselves out of hell.
