  Orval Faubus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Orval Faubus was born near Combs in Madison County, Arkansas.
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.

 Guardian | Woodrow Mann
Rather, he saw himself as a practical and honest civil servant, committed to upholding the law of the land, who was forced to take a stand against the racist agitation of the state's governor, Orville Faubus.
The remarkable images of the paratroopers of the 101st Airborne Division, with their famous "Screaming Eagle" shoulder patches, protecting children from a raging mob, were seen worldwide, and provided the civil rights' movement with another striking illustration of American apartheid.
Eventually, a series of court orders forced Faubus to back down, but on September 23, the nine students, accompanied by Daisy Bates of the National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People, were escorted in by police for their first day of classes.

The Mansfield uprising was the nation's first clear example of failure to enforce a federal court order for the desegregation of a public school.
The Eisenhower administration took no action until the next year, when a similar, more visible situation arose in Little Rock, Arkansas, where Governor Orville Faubus's resistance to integration was possibly inspired by Governor Shivers's success in Mansfield.
The Mansfield uprising was an apparent factor in the passage of the state's 1957 segregation laws, which delayed integration for several years.

 Not On My Watch
The cumulative effects of racism and de facto segregation had seen to it that education in the public schools was not only separate, but distinctly unequal.
When you think about the Little Rock Nine, or Alabama Governor Orville Faubus standing in the doorway at Little Rock’s Central High School saying “Segregation now, Segregation forever!” to the cheers of white citizens, it went without saying that the schools African American children attended were inferior.
Part of that change can be seen in how few of today’s youth who are seniors in high school would recognize the names of Orville Faubus, George Wallace, Eugene “Bull” Connor and the Jim Crow system they represented.
