Here's what happened on September 22, 1956:

• Kentucky School Desegregation: A Pivotal Civil Rights Moment From September 5 to September 22, 1956, a critical moment in the Civil Rights Movement unfolded in Kentucky, where the Kentucky Army National Guard and State Police intervened to enforce school desegregation. At Clay Consolidated School, racial tensions escalated as a crowd attempted to block black students from entering. The National Guardsmen ultimately cleared the path, allowing African American students to access education, marking a significant step towards racial integration in public schools. This event was part of the broader national struggle for civil rights, occurring just two years after the landmark Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision that declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional. The use of National Guard troops highlighted the federal government's commitment to enforcing desegregation and protecting the rights of African American students.
