Little Rock, Arkansas is the correct answer.

The Little Rock Crisis was an event in Little Rock, Kansas where nine African-American students were prevent from entering the newly desegregated high school, Little Rock Central High School. After the governor called for a National Guard blockade to prevent the student from entering the school, federal troops were sent in by President Eisenhower. These troops acted as an armed escort for the nine students and enforced integration.
