| Spatial Coverage | Arkansas--Little Rock Southern States |
| Description | Cartoon shows an elephant (labeled "Southern GOP") and a donkey (labeled "Southern Demos"), both of whom have been stunned by the same rock (labeled "Little Rock Situation"). In 1957, Governor Orval Faubus of Arkansas tried to block a Federal order to desegregate the public schools, inciting violence and mob disorders, and finally causing President Eisenhower to call out the National Guard. The cartoonist suggests that the crisis has damaged both major political parties in the South. |
