-This act creates the Civil Rights Commission and also authorizes the Justice Department to look into cases of African Americans being deprived of their voting rights in the South. 

-Also established a federal Civil Rights Commission with authority to investigate discriminatory actions and recommend things to correct this 


-This event was important because white people in the South would have a hard time segregating during voting. They could also be investigated for it, which is even harder.

-President Eisenhower tells federal troops to integrate Little Rock High School.

-The 1954 Supreme Court decision Brown v. Topeka made segregation in public schools illegal. Governor Faubus defied this decision. 

-Also ignored a 1955 ruling (Brown II). The 1955 decision said that public schools be desegregated with all deliberate speed. 

-The importance of this event is that despite being blocked by the Governor of Arkansas, Little Rock Nine continued to pursue the desegregation of schools. It also shows how President Eisenhower supported the desegregation of schools as well.
