Read the following excerpt from Jackie Robinson's letter to President Eisenhower,
As the chief executive of our nation, I respectfully suggest that you unwittingly crush the spirit of freedom in Negroes by
constantly urging forbearance and give hope to those pro-segregation leaders like Governor Faubus who would take
from us even those freedoms we now enjoy. Your own experience with Governor Faubus is proof enough that
forbearance and not eventual integration is the goal the pro-segregation leaders seek.
To which specific historic event is Jackie Robinson referring to in the letter?

President Eisenhower's argument over civil rights with Arkansas Governor Faubus at the Summit Meeting of Negro Leaders
the day before this letter was written

the riots of Harlem, which broke out in response to African Americans frustration at job discrimination, police brutality, poor
treatment by the armed forces, and lack of access to economic opportunities

Governor Faubus's calling of the Arkansas National Guard to prevent nine African American students from entering Little
Rock Central High School, despite the US Supreme Court's ruling against segregation

the rumored fatal shooting in August 1943 of a white soldier, which culminated in race rioting across the nation
