President Eisenhower ordered desegregation of the school and on September 24, 1957 ordered the National Guard to accompany the nine students to school. Eckford was the only student to come to school that day and was the first to attend the school. The other eight heard of Eckford's victory and enthusiastically enrolled also. Hazel Massery, the white student behind Elizabeth, became friends later in life.
