In 1954 Brown vs Board of Education ruled that segregated life was unconstitutional, and so ruled that schools had to be desegregated, but in the Deep South this didn’t happen quickly, and things really started to heat up when in 1957 the NAACP sent nine students to enrol in Central High School in Little Rock Arkansas, later known as the Little Rock Nine, where the schools were very segregated. For the first time black people were going to get to go to an all white school, how exciting! Until the Arkansas state governor Orval Faubus ordered the state national guard to block the students by any means necessary, after a little while of the children not going to school President Eisenhower sent the 101st airborne division of the military, to accompany the students and make sure they were allowed to enter. They were subject to a year of physical and mental abuse but they stuck with it and in the end it was a landmark event for civil rights. President Dwight D. Eisenhower was a trailblazing president on the grounds of civil rights, and during the Little Rock Nine events his acts became legend, but as a politician he must have wondered about his decisions, there must have been a lot going on in his mind, and I’m going to give my interpretation of what he must have been thinking. This is inside the mind of President Eisenhower.

Inside the Mind of Eisenhower Comic Life

Making this was a fun process, it took a lot of time, but once I got the ball rolling I got excited and I’m quite proud, this project was especially interesting because this is part 1/3, so I’m thinking I might do a bunch of these “inside the mind of president ____” but I guess I’ll wait for feedback on this one to see if that’s a good idea. I hope you enjoyed reading my comic book, and I’ll see you next time.
