Read the following excerpt from jackie robinsonâs letter to president eisenhower.
as the chief executive of our nation, i respectfully suggest that you unwittingly crush the spirit of freedom in negroes by constantly urging forbearance and give hope to those pro-segregation leaders like governor faubus who would take from us even those freedoms we now enjoy. your own experience with governor faubus is proof enough that forbearance and not eventual integration is the goal the pro-segregation leaders seek.

a. president eisenhowerâs argument over civil rights with arkansas governor faubus at the summit meeting of negro leaders the day before this letter was written
b. the riots of harlem, which broke out in response to african americansâ frustration at job discrimination, police brutality, poor treatment by the armed forces, and lack of access to economic opportunities
c. governor faubusâs calling of the arkansas national guard to prevent nine african american students from entering little rock central high school, despite the us supreme courtâs ruling against segregation
