faubus sent a hot wire to eisenhower who was on vacation in newport, rhode island. eisenhower sent a telegram right back that was made public that said i will do whatever is necessary to upheld the constitution, they clear, now, they did meet and try to negotiate an arrangement on september 14th in newport, and that did not work out, and faubus did not keep his word. so eisenhower eventually on september 24th, when violence erupted again, mobilized the 101st airborne division, and he did -- he said to herbert brownell at that time. he believed in overwhelming the force. you don't do these kinds of things halfway. you send the message, and i think what you said was appropriate. it was several kinds of messages, but i would point out it's the tip of the iceberg because remember about these federal judicial appointments, the judge, the federal judge who issued the court order to faubus to cease and desist was ronald davies, an eisenhower appointee, who opened the door for the justice department to intervene, which opened the door for sending troops to enforce the feder

he faulted president -- not only faubus, but armstrong called faubus an uneducated plow boy, you knowk then -- hasn't got any country, and he said that the government can go to hell. this is a very strong statement from someone like louis armstrong, who was seen as a symbol of african-american contentment, shall we say. so mingus was speaking out very forcefully against faubus and other segregationists. he actually included eisenhower in his litany of condemnation. yes? >> i have a question about that. didn't eisenhower, like, send in troops to the protect the little rock nine? so like why is he saying that eisenhower is a segregationist as well? >> well, eisenhower was known for not supporting the brown decision. he was known for sympathizing with the south in terms of its resistance to desegregation. but in the end, the embarrassment -- the little rock crisis gained international headlines. the picture that you've seen of elizabeth eckford walking to school with people shouting abuse at her, that was broadcast all over the world. this was a time during the cold war where the united

did most people in little rock, and the night before school was to open, the good governor orville faubus comes on television and says that he's calling out the national guard to keep us out of school. and i'm thinking oh, my goodness, you know, i'm a senior. i want to graduate, and i'm walking into this huge unknown. and that first day the pictures on the brochure of elizabeth and the mob behind her, it dawned on me that maybe this was something other than my going to school, that there's some other issues going on here, and that i said i wanted to be a part of the change in the south. well, my moment came. and for three weeks, in fact, most people didn't think eisenhower was going to step forward and do anything. i don't think up until the last minute -- we were talking earlier. i had an opportunity to sit with herbert brownell back in the '80s. we were at the eisenhower -- eisenhower library. and i said, you know, eisenhower really didn't need to send 1,000 paratroopers with the 101st airborne. he could have sent 50, 100 or 200, that they would have done the job, but he said that eisen

the town's response was a surprise is faubus that because a surprise was the only way to give jordan involved. >>> we had a surprise of policy would never go for it he would never do it. >>> a bittersweet return. in november many of these folks can not to honor joshua corral one spot it was brought home after he was killed in afghanistan. corral was a 2010 graduate of san ramon valley high school. he and other seniors join the marines after school. >>> when we lost one of our own that was he was a close friend of jordan's eight prodded closer to home the prize goes beyond belief. >>> he appeared to be taken is welcome home in stride, the marines said of this service, he was doing his job. >>> thank you for the oncoming means a lot to have your support, thank you. >>> don knapp, cbs 5. >>> a gorgeous day for a homecoming and beautiful day all across the bay area. brian hackney is here. >>> we have high-pressure water the west coast we came at least in the right direction towards record highs. we would need numbers in the '90s to get highs in the bay area it will still be warm on monda

talked about jazz as a site for this protest music and charles mingus is denouncing governor orville faubusk, you know, well, this could have been a genre of songs condemning segregationist governors of the period. you know, you had george wallace of alabama, ross barnett of mississippi, you had lester maddox of georgia, but this is really occasioned by the little rock crisis, and let's let the music speak for itself. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> okay. we have to move rapidly through these clips. we can't really play the songs in their entirety, unfortunately, but i'm hoping that you can go and find some of these on the itunes you page for i guess the benefit of the students. i don't know if there's going to be broader access to that, but -- but in any case. the real ambassadors was a musical review that was written by dave brubeck, a very prominent jazz band leader and pianist and his wife, and it's based on louis armstrong's experience as a cultural ambassador for the state department, and this was a collaboration of many musicians, including the vocal trio which was very hot, as you can see, the host
