Bates, the president of the Arkansas State Conference of the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People), was an advisor to nine African-American high school students who attempted to enroll in Little Rock Central High School and were initially prevented by Governor Orval Faubus who called on the National Guard to stop the school's integration.
