Republicans Ended Racial Segregation in Little Rock

Just a few days after passage of the GOP’s 1957 Civil Rights Act, the Democrat governor of Arkansas ordered the National Guard to prevent the court-ordered racial integration of a public high school in Little Rock. Republican President Dwight Eisenhower refused to tolerate defiance of the federal judiciary. Under a plan suggested by his attorney general, the President placed the governor’s soldiers under federal control and ordered federal troops to the state, where they escorted African-American children to school.

Republicans were unfazed by the many Democrats, including John Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson, who criticized President Eisenhower for the action he took to uphold civil rights.




In 1932, despite the Democrat landslide that year, Everett Dirksen was elected to the first of eight terms in the U.S. House of Representatives, representing Illinois. He won election to the U.S. Senate in 1950 and became Minority Leader in 1959.

Senator Dirksen strongly condemned a Democrat-led 57-day filibuster against the 1964 Civil Rights Act: “The time has come for equality of opportunity in sharing of government, in education, and in employment. It must not be stayed or denied. It is here!”

Senator Dirksen co-authored the 1965 Voting Rights Act and helped outmaneuver Democrat opposition: “This cannot go on forever, this denial of the right to vote by ruses and devices and tests and whatever the mind can contrive to either make it very difficult or to make it impossible to vote.”
