The text primarily uses a cause-effect organizational structure. It outlines the cause (the Little Rock Nine's attempt to attend an integrated school) and describes the effects of their actions, including the response from the governor, the involvement of federal troops, and the broader impact on the civil rights movement.
In 1957, when the schools of Little Rock, Arkansas, were still segregated by race, nine African American students sought to attend the all-white Central High School. The reaction to their effort resounded throughout the country. On the first day of school, Governor Orval Faubus called upon the Arkansas National Guard to bar the nine students from entering the school, and a mob of protesters harassed and threatened them. In response to this embarrassing spectacle, President Eisenhower sent federal troops into Little Rock to protect the students, who became known as the Little Rock Nine. As Americans watched these events on television, the courage and grace of the Little Rock Nine helped turn the tide in favor of civil rights for African Americans.
