The use of National Guard troops multiple times to force integration?" I believe you will find they were under the command of a governor. That is permissable. The Nat Guard troops at Ole Miss were under Governor Ross Barnett's command? I don't think so. Those Guard troops were there to see that the integration occurred- -something Barnett was opposed to. President Kennedy subsequently realized that Governor Barnett was not going to send adequate police or National Guard troops to relieve the beleaguered U.S. marshals at Ole Miss, so he "federalized" the Mississippi National Guard and dispatched 25,000 U.S. Army troops to the campus. africanamericans.com
