Francis Thompson’s poem “The Hound of Heaven” inspired a phrase used in this decision, which extended Sweatt v. Painter. Cooper (15[1])v.

Kenneth (15[1])and Mamie (*) Clark’s doll experiment was used (10[1])to support this decision, which called for taking an action with “All deliberate speed.” In 1957, the 101st Airborne was deployed to Little Rock to (10[1])enforce this decision.
