Last-minute race develops for Supreme Court

5. I don't know a whole lot about Faubus

Maybe he was a kind of governor in the mold of Huey Long. I get the feeling that he was something of a racist, though, given that he was from an extremely racist county (the whole county was one giant "sundown town&quot , and the Little Rock crisis was just a year after the signing of the Southern Manifesto.

At any rate, I think he helped paint a bad image of our state (Hannah-Barbera was particularly fond of poking fun at Arkansas), which lasted for several decades. During my first trip to the Northeast, it seemed like the only thing anyone knew about Arkansas was the Little Rock crisis that had happened more than 20 years earlier.
