DWIGHT EISENHOWER – While Dwight D. Eisenhower never broadcast his strong civil rights record even when he stepped in with federal troops to aid the Little Rock Nine in 1957, his actions are worthy of high praise. During his presidency, Eisenhower not only appointed Earl Warren, who presided over Brown v. Board, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court but he regularly fought and succeeded in placing judges committed to equal rights to serve in critical Southern courts. With the Civil Rights Act of 1957, Eisenhower’s administration became the first since Reconstruction to pass civil rights legislation. Truman proposed bold actions such as integrating the armed forces but Eisenhower actually implemented the changes, making it the rule of the land.
